It's a beautiful view
this courtyard
lit up at night
silent
peaceful
and yet not
as it is a home for
troubled souls
everyone here has a story
I wish I could know them all
Instead I look at the lights
and ponder the deaths
occurring at this moment
as well as the miraculous recoveries
hospitals
strange places
I know all too well
but right now
my body is quiet.

Annie, I just love your writing! I hope everything is going good for you today. I woke up with a bit of energy and I'm being careful not to use it all up too soon.
