. . . or not long enough?
The Malingering
seven long months
convalescing
like some earth bound wraith
unwelcomed
upon consecrated ground
whilst circling the deepest abyss
of some malevolent virus
to which I had no resistance
hellbent on my imminent death
in my weakness
in the darkness
faith put to the test
with a living dose
of heavenly strength
