my place in the world

my place in the
   world
was built with my own
   hands
or shall i say inherited
   hands
with the help of
   many
friends & teachers &
   mentors &
such unimaginable
   blessings.

with a great protracted
   illness
& its healing, i feel
   weak &
lost.

my muscles have
   atrophied & my
mind
   wobbles.

Lord, help make me
   well &
help me grow back
   into my old
shoes.

i still have so
   much
thought to
   share
& far more
   heart.
