My Poem - Artistic Interpretation

 - - - - My SIL had a stroke - - - - 
 - - - - last week.  I wonder - - - - 
 - - - - what it felt like to her.- - - 

 My Clouds  

 Awoke one saturday morning 
A stormy day coming for me 
Storm clouds gathering darkly gray 
Opened the door a crack to see 

 Out of my grasp open it swung 
Gaping, wind and clouds gushing in 
They swooped me up afraid to fall 
With raspy voice clouds spoke to me 

 Hold tight, one saying , don't you fall 
There was nothing else I could do 
Up we went to nowhere special 
Clouds stayed with me they didn't leave 
- - - later now - - - 

 Dimly through the mist I can see 
Still holding tight I'll not let loose 
Clouds are all I have it's been years 
Feeling safe with them, here I stay

My sister-in-law was airlifted via helicopter Sunday morning to the Shreveport LSU Hospital. 
They gave her wonderful care, ER, ICR, and Friday discharged to her hometown hospital for inpatient therapy. 
She will have speech,  physical, and occupational therapy.   She has heavy needs in all those areas.
We, the rest of family, and many, many others are praying for her, her recovery, and loving family.

    They swooped me up afraid to fall
    With raspy voice clouds spoke to me

    One can feel the sudden gush with your perfect word use, Dr Jim!

    ...and the moral of the story … don't open the door on a stormy morning! Good write, Jim!

    See what happens when curiosity removes caution? Adventures in the clouds! I felt that by the end any storm danger had passed.

    What an amazing story! The rush and the resolution was evocative of the storm.

    Well, this is what happens when one opens the door during an intense storm.

    "Clouds are all I have it's been years / Feeling safe with them, here I stay " -- really like that. We stick with what we know, even if nothing really there other than the comfort of sameness.
