#SeasonalSonnets 2017: 2nd Dec

Hello my lovely readers

Sonnet number two for you! Another one which was not written before, but penned in a break from thesis work - and therefore filled with thoughts very apposite to the title of my blog. It's essentially about what it means (and has meant) to be Wordy and Wheely...

Love and spoons

Today I ponder what my body means

whilst briefly paused from writing up my thesis;

it rarely feels my own except in dreams

so words, not workouts, have been my releases.

Eleven long years, now, have shortly passed

since comfort sat well with me exercising;

but physio’s a joy again, at last –

regaining “lost” ability’s exciting!

My muscles surely still have far to go

(much atrophy, from hurt, they must recover).

I’m merely pleased to test what I can do;

not bothered if the pace is fast or slower.

For dissipating pain has let me find

a place outside the “haven” of my mind.
