New Plan for a life with MS
damaged pathways demand an altered approach
to my strangely uncertain existence
need to concentrate on ignoring the losses
focus on nature, beauty and life
work it moment by moment, metre by metre
and begin to embrace creative distraction
forgive myself the weakness of disease
strength can be harvested from the hearty weeds
of persistence, resilience, wonder and will
it can grow to encompass all thoughts
be directed, harnessed and healing
I will gain insight into this adaptability curve
master the issues, claim the moments
and know I am engaged with the energy
that still flows through my interrupted mind
