A chapter in the book Poetry

My Spinal fusion

by Jackarrie


How to cope with this extreme pain
It's serious, the doctor did ascertain
Fearful my depression would return
Peace of mind is all that I yearned
So I put in place what I had learned
To know my limits, then make a choice
By listening to my internal voice
Our inner self is our own adviser
Allowing our thoughts to be much wiser
I couldn't use my body so I used my mind
At least that part of me was not confined.
My overactive mind was always a pest
Now it's the time to put it to the test
I brought art into my impoverished world
From that moment my whole life unfurled

When I was in pain I focused on learning to paint watercolors from watching art programs on tv and library books. After my operation, I continued to paint, it saved my mind.
the painting is a french scene I painted for my daughter.
