halfway there

We are halfway home

Resting from our travels

A one night stay here

No big deal


You are in a kind of halfway house

Post discharge resting and recovering 

Hoping to get released to fly back home

Eleven days from now if all goes well


Enduring the ordeal of your ongoing discomfort

Expected to persist for weeks

Weary from the heavy fog of fatigue 

Not expected to lift for the next month or more 


I will go to your place the day after we get back

Watering your houseplants talking to them 

Telling them about you as I care for them

Hoping their revival may transfer to you 


So many people have you in their thoughts

Sending their love for you as a healing energy 

Certain you are well cared for there

With your loving life partner by your side
