consolation

Ah yes. This harkens back to an experience I had when I still worked at HaL Computer Systems. Never told anyone about it, just wrote this brief reflection.

consolation

confused
walls spinning round
struggling hard with panic
and fear

distressed
caged in my cube
vision blurred and shaded
in pain

sudden
from behind me
upon my shoulder lights
a hand

at once
my heart is calmed
moment of clarity
shines through

turning
i look to see
my kindly comforter
and find

nothing
an empty space
with no-one there to meet
my view

yet still
i clearly feel
upon my shoulder warm
a hand

yet still
it steadies me
and warmed within my chest
i grin

it seems
the steady hand
must to an angel friend
belong
