    Renee Robinson

    I am in the final stages of metastatic colon cancer. I have just finished my 26th round of chemotherapy. In 2 weeks, I will have another scan to see which organ in my body Cancer has chosen to dance with next. It has been a very difficult time. My writing has helped me to deal with death as if it is some sort of supernatural being I need to fight and expel myself. I have to go deep within myself and find my own inner peace and magic. Writing makes me happy, perhaps it is my armor. Perhaps my story is meant to be shared. Words are Power. Words are strength. Words are my legacy. Words touch the heart, the soul and the spirit. I pray my words help in the fight with cancer. Is it possible words can heal?

      I love the emotions that were poured out on paper. My favorite poem was The Shadow man but I loved each poem. Robinson's prose brought me on an emotional journey and brought tears and comfort to my heart.

    Dedication:

    To Liberty Union Alumni with special thanks to the Class of 1984. 

    Thank you for all of the prayers, thoughts and support.

    Free-fall

    There is a path well-traveled

    Which no one likes to take

    The point of no return

    Feeling all is at stake

    Rolling downhill

    All the way

    Over and over

    Head over heel

    There is a drop-off

    At the end

    A free-fall

    Into the abyss

    The end is near

    Say a prayer

    Amen!

    Demystified

    Fear

    The path begins

    It is a tear

    Running down the cheek

    Dropping off

    Into the oblique

    Forever

    He grabbed her

    And pulled her away

    No one could find her

    But I saw her

    In my mind’s eye

    She was there

    No one would believe me

    I think they were scared

    Afraid that my mind could see

    What the eye could not

    Although I might be able to save her

    My words were for not

    For no one would listen

    And I grew desperate

    Knowing she would die

    All I could do was concentrate

    Hoping my thoughts

    Would work in reverse

    Hoping my mind could save her

    And remove this curse

    She was not taken by a man

    She was taken by a being

    A thing without a name

    A nightmare I wish I’d never seen

    His skin was of leather

    He teeth were like fangs

    His strength was not of man

    Lifting weight without any strain

    She was so small and frail in his arms

    How could anyone be so vicious

    And cause her such harm?

    She was beaten and starved

    And would not live much longer

    What was I to do?

    I cried in wonder

    I did not know

    Where she was

    I only knew

    It was an unsafe place

    She could disappear

    Without a trace

    Forever

    I would see her face

    Forever

    In that terrible place

    Forever

    I can her cry

    Forever

    The place

    She

    Died

    Feather In The Wind

    I am a ring in a tree

    A leaf in the forest

    A footprint in the sand

    I am a musical note

    Floating in the air

    Drifting up to my place

    In a magical land

    I am the call of a lion

    A feather in the wind

    A star in the sky

    We are miracles

    With a purpose

    A pigment in God’s eye

    Spiritual beings

    With a soul that never dies

    Held by the hand of God

    Each with a song

    Held inside

    One day to be heard

    A sunrise bursting to life

    A sleepy sunset

    Basking in a bird’s lullaby

    An eagle soaring in the sky

    With me, a reflection

    In his eye

    I am eternity

    Though one day

    I shall die

    My soul

    A new color

    In the sky

    Drifting up

    Toward God’s eye

    Where my song shall sing

    In a place

    Where the spirits reside

    Butterfly Wings

    Butterfly wings

    Touching my cheeks

    Brushing my lips

    Flutters away

    Never to leave

    Me all alone

    Serves as a

    Messenger

    Delivering a song

    I sent to you

    A small miracle

    Reminding you

    Of my love

    You are never alone

    For I walk with you

    Just look above

    I am

    Butterfly wings

    Touching your cheeks

    Brushing your lips

    I am here to stay

    Never to leave

    You all alone

    Butterflies drifting

    Down like fall leaves

    Reminding me of His love

    Lifting my heart

    And my spirits

    Sending messages of love

    I sent to you

    A small miracle

    Reminding you

    Of my love

    You are never alone

    For I walk with you

    Just look above

    I am

    Butterfly wings

    Touching your cheeks

    Brushing your lips

    I am here to stay

    Never to leave

    You all alone

    I Was The  One

    I was the one you told secrets. I was the one you made promises

    I was the one you gave hope.

    Today she came to me. She told me she is in love. She tells him her secrets.

    She’s made him promises. She gives him hope.

    Both of us shocked, hurt. Unbearable pain

    Too much to absorb, Both sick from the strain.

    We talked and cried. Neither knew what to do. We both confronted him.

    So that he may hurt too

    He laid down in the frying pan. For he knew he was cooked. It only took him one look.

    Seeing us together with tears in our eyes. Hit him in the face, nearly blinding his eye

    He denied nothing. He knew he was caught. Like bacon, he fried and the pan was hot.

    ......And all he could say:.....

    I told you my lies. I made broken promises. And I gave false hope

    I am the one who loves you and behaved like a dope.

    Why did I do this? What is wrong with me? Now I will lose you

    None knew what to do. We both still loved him.

    Does the pain go away?

    Without him I will die but with him, do we live a lie?

    Trust has been broken. Love’s sacred ingredient. Full of flavor and spice

    We made him choose. Knowing he would squirm. No sympathy from us.

    We know he’s a worm.....

    He made his decision. He made his choice.

    It was me he chose, and I felt rejoiced!

    How could that me? When he hurt me so? Why do I still want him? Why don’t I just go?

    I told him my secrets. I made him promises.

    I gave him hope. I told him no lies

    Will he yearn for her? Will she be on his mind?

    Will he cheat ? As if it’s no crime? Will he cry for her?

    When he is with me,

    Will he think of her and wish he was free?

    What is wrong with me? What did I do?

    I thought I was good to him and yet, her love he pursued

    I told him my secrets. I made him promises.

    I gave him hope. I told him no lies

    May Heaven help me,Without him I will die

    He makes me happy and full of life....
