SENSELESS

G. Medlock

My ears blind to nature

my eyes numb to beauty

my memory robbed of smell

my mouth deaf

limbs parched

When my whole beautiful world has gone black

am I still a part of it?

When my brain has been put out like a flame

where does my being cease

and my spirit begin

Finding its way through the dark

Finding its way home

The arms of God open like a mother's

to embrace me

full and warm

And I'm home

home
