| Welcome...to my website, Recovery in Poetry! Here you will find a sample of these collectible poems that I have written over a 26 year period that has helped me during my continuing recovery from a very severe traumatic brain injury. As I slowly came out of a six week coma, I discovered that I was a different person; I had lost my identity and many cognitive abilities. That loss led to depression and grief. Poetry helped me on my journey to recovery by expressing my feelings from despair to hope. It gave me a feeling of purpose. For those of you who have experienced a loss of self, I hope that my poetry will bring you hope. I also hope that my poems will be helpful to family members who have a loved one with a traumatic brain injury. Hopefully, this website may enlighten you to see life clearer through the eyes of all people whether white, black, red, yellow, brain injured, mentally disabled, etc. We're all the same because we all have thoughts and feelings that have importance. We all mirror each other in some way. Enjoy my website & come back often! Deb |

COMPANIONSHIP Check out the leaves as they will begin to change, Into pretty colors and how they will all arrange, To be a beautiful sight, It seems that their beauty can change overnight. As well as our spirits towards one another, No need to smother. It will be getting chilly down right cold, All of us the young and the old, Even those of us in their middle years, Need ample support to switch gears. Stay close to one another. Deb November 2011 |
