As I awake from the same nightmare
again, details still fresh in my mind,
of disease that spreads over the land,
Alzeihmers, depression,
cancer,
Parkinson’s, heart disease,
fells my family and friends. My eyes
stay closed for a while, until my
breathing becomes stable once more,
wake up now, I speak to myself, it’s
time to wake up!

Waking up is difficult sometimes, isn't it, Judy!
A strong piece of writing, a punch to the gut. Reality is hard, and sometimes nightmares continue even when one wakes up! But one must see the sun, feel the warmth, breathe, and pray.
Oh, yes, Judy, you nailed it!...I am split at times between not wanting to wake up, or to wake and have it all be only a dream vs a real live nightmare.
Powerful and so real. I have lost a lot of my family to dreadful diseases.
I like that you woke up and can move through the sea of sad n' beauty~xXx
Wow. You captured that fear that we all have about disease. Well written!
A scourge that is all to real as we get older, Judy. If only we could just wake up and have it gone.
A nightmare for everyone...
whew. glad to wake up.
So glad you woke up Judy and didn't get lost in that nightmare.
Judy, a scary and real nightmare - so difficult to handle when awake, that it haunts us at night. You express it well.

Very well stated, Judy. I like the way you spread the diseases visually in this poem. If only the nightmares didn't turn into daymares.
I feel it too Judy. I remember my Dad talking about the experience of so many friends terribly ill when he was our age. It is hard in our circle lately.
time to wake up,
how cool ending.
