A supercilious life

interrupted by a macabre reality

lightening strikes

now feeling like a flea

Diagnosis came

myocarditis is the foe

barely spelling the word

so much to know

Like a dragon

striking fire within the storm

everything is gone

misery is the norm

Thunder

clinging to faith

fearful loud noises

reduced to a wraith

Raining

there is a strong wind

struggling to get up

how will it end

Grieving

so much loss

debris in emotions

relationships getting tossed

Storm passing

sun filters through the clouds

answers to prayers

hope screams out loud

A new day

surrounded by those who remain

extending great love

the dragon has been slain
