life changes

altered

Oct 23

life changes in the briefest moment

dad fell, broke his neck, was paralyzed

so i recognized possibilities as

i stood suddenly knowing

i was going down before i could do

anything to stop or break my fall

i did survive intact, but know now

i may need to change my solitary life

although i love my home in the country

with unexpected visits by deer, elk

young bobcat, snowy owl, cougar
