Fainting

Escher "Day and Night"

Sorry I am not back completely. I just had an experience I want to share. I had to write today after sitting on top of the hill, looking over Christchurch, thinking about what happened a few days ago. I went out of my bed at night and fainted to be woken up a long time later covered with bruises. Today on the hill I realised how quickly our light can be turned of, just like that and it scared me. The doctor said I might have had a fit. So silly me wanted to know as well if I could still write.

Fainting by marja blom

I sit on top of the hill

dwelling between the world

and eternity, staring at

mountain tops dotted

with milky spots

They peak over a haze

draped above a tapestry

of human settlement

I am above the world, not part of it

Not part of it ,echoes my mind

thinking of the other night

which blackened before my eyes

and invisible arms pulled me

towards the floor

entangling me and painting me with bruises

Fear crunches my heart

as I stare into eternity

I am not part of you

I whisper sternly to the sky

and I stand up to

walk and write

I stand up to be

part of the world again

I look forward to see you next week Keep safe, Marja
