Anniversary of my accident
The Stone Birds
by Aussie

The stone birds arrived today
How I wish they would fly away Every year upon this date They come to rest until tears abate. Twenty-nine years a long time Still the pain returns on this day No matter how I wish it away The stone birds arrived today. Losing a leg is likened to losing a child I try to forget - makes me wild Anger and frustration abound The stone birds make no sound. Tomorrow they will fly away I have survived enough to say Begone! you doting birds I am alive, alive with words. Writing is my passion now I have the power to rise above The pain and suffering so long ago Lives within me, conquered by love. |

27 of July is the twenty-nineth anniversary of my accident when I had my leg amputated. Try as I might, stone birds won't take flight. And so I share with you my feelings and say "do you own your disability? Or does your disability own you?" Thanks for reading. No pity, just laugh with me as the stone birds fly away.
