  • 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.

    Finding Solace in Solitude: A Poem for Our ME/CFS Journey

    In the quiet of solitude, I find,
    A refuge from the chaos of the mind.
    Amidst the dark night’s gentle embrace,
    I journey inward, seeking solace and grace.

    Chronic Fatigue, my silent companion,
    Teaches me the art of patient abandon.
    To conserve my spoons with mindful care,
    In the depths of stillness, I repair.

    Like a phoenix rising from ashes of doubt,
    I embrace the dark night, without a shout.
    For in solitude’s embrace, I discern,
    The lessons of the soul, I eagerly learn.

    In this sacred space of quiet retreat,
    I find strength anew, my spirit replete.
    With each tender breath and mindful sigh,
    I reclaim my light beneath the sky.

    So here I rest, in solitude’s cocoon,
    Gathering spoons beneath the silver moon.
    Learning to dance with shadows and light,
    Embracing the journey, embracing the night.

    🙏🕊️🙏
