Sunshine On Our Solitude
Perry Campanella 1948 (FL)
We so shut-in, recluse, in-cased, ice body immersed,
conscious my body without function, dreams are all,
light is sunshine, to move toward, visions be fulfilled
Dreams in this light, aid my appendages move beyond,
Travel is possible, yet frozen nor one step we take,
should we leave a dream, any prison would be a relief,
from this flat, horizontal position, we rise, we wake,
never have we known such a prison place, only grief
Confined, for our cure, yet hope, not forever trapped,
pneumonia doomed in our problems, others will relate,
too, ere pain endured, by wearing our problem,
though shut-in, dreams are as sunshine on our solitude.
