This For Those Who Had A Stroke

By Archana Sinh

This for those who had a stroke…

a tribute to those who surged through

to those who made it happen

to those who stood on side and cheered

and those who silently prayed

To know that what was lost

was not mobility

or just the ability to..

talk or to walk

to think and to say

to feel but not express

to cry but not to shed

those tears that

stayed in the eyes

the voice that visited the black corridors

to emotions that looked for expression

but most of all to that being

that constructed an identity from a labyrinth

of thoughts lost

Of who are you

I wish I could tell you who am I
