Poem: Solitude and the Key

Reflections on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome aka ME/CFS

Solitude and the Key In silence, I find a refuge from the chaos of my mind. In the tender embrace of the night, I travel inward for comfort and grace.

Chronic fatigue, my silent companion, taught me the art of patient resignation. In the depths of silence I carefully kept my key, where I repaired. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of doubt, I embrace the night without shouting.

For in the embrace of solitude I discern the lessons of the soul and long to learn them. In this quiet refuge, I find strength again, and my spirit is full.

With every gentle breath and careful sigh, I recapture my light beneath the sky. So I rest in my lonely cocoon, gathering spoons by moonlight. Learning to dance with shadow and light, embracing the journey, embracing the night.
