    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?

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Misty Serenade - Renee Robinson

      Songbird

      Beautiful songbird

      In a cage

      Spreading her wings

      Memories of old days

      Unable to span

      Wings in flight

      Unable to sing

      In delight

      Along with her freedom

      Happiness taken

      No songs of love

      All is forsaken

      No one to hear

      No one to see

      No one to care

      No one to please

      Confined behind bars

      No longer to fly

      Solitary life

      With hours to cry

      Beautiful songbird

      In a cage

      Spreading her wings

      Memories of old days

      The Gift

      I will always be

      By your side

      I am always nearby

      You only need

      To believe

      To have a little faith

      And to receive

      I leave behind a gift

      Waiting for you to accept

      It will always be here

      Even if you reject

      Whenever you are ready

      To open and receive

      Just open this gift

      You only need to believe

      When this gift you open

      It opens your heart

      It will come inside

      It will never depart

      You open the gift

      The gift opens you

      It is as simple that

      It speaks truth

      There is no test

      No need to study

      No need to worry

      Or have any fear

      Just open this gift

      And accept in your heart

      Let the gift open you

      And never depart

      We Will Soar

      Nothing is what it appears

      I look in the mirror

      I see myself young

      In my twenties

      Is this true? Can it be?

      Traveling back in time

      Defying history

      A second chance

      Where are my sons?

      Are they here?

      They would be babies

      Are they near?

      I do not want a world without them

      I won’t start all over without my boys

      I must go back, there is no choice

      How?

      Closing my eyes

      Turning away from the mirror

      Praying...

      I open my eyes

      I had drifted to sleep

      I look into the mirror

      My eyes appear deep

      Older, wrinkled

      I begin to weep

      I have aged

      My skin is crinkled

      My muscle is gone

      I appear 20 years older

      This is not time travel

      I am now a soldier

      This is cancer

      It fed on my flesh

      This the result of its hunger

      My Doctors and I

      Have fought a battle

      We are determined to win the war

      I am armed with Faith and Hope

      Loved ones and Angels

      Cancer’s face, I deplore

      We are strong

      We will fight

      We will win

      We will soar

      Prayer Collector

      I am busy collecting prayers

      I need all I can get

      I want to store them away

      To use everyday

      Fighting to live

      It is hard work

      It is a challenge

      Life is a privilege

      The afterlife is waiting

      To welcome me in

      Nothing to fear

      A new phase begins

      Collecting prayers

      One for each day

      Of wonderful life

      Thank you Lord

      Another day

      I just want to live

      This life to the fullest

      I am not ready to leave

      Place me on prayer lists

      This world is my home

      For a short time

      I am not ready to leave

      I ask for more time

      Collecting prayers

      There are so many

      So much love

      Given to me

      Please hear my prayers

      I ask humbly

      My soul is yours

      I pray you hear me

      I Rise

      The clouds burst open and Christ appears

      It’s time to come home.

      Christ is come. The time is now.

      Are you lost or are you found?

      Housewives, police and truckers too

      Arise and fill the sky

      East, west, north and south

      Dancing and shouting in the sunrise

      Christ has come, The King is here

      The time has come,The time is today

      Hallelujah, I have been found!

      Come unto me, Christ did say

      The power of Christ, electrifying

      He pulled the sky apart

      Suddenly my feet leave the ground

      For Christ resides within my heart

      Higher and higher, I rise up

      I am not the least bit scared

      For I am filled with the Holy Spirit

      Thank God, my soul has been spared

      Guiding Light

      I see the light

      Don't you?

      Right over there

      Just over the hill

      How can you miss it?

      It is the most beautiful sight

      Nothing else like it

      A warming sensation

      Upon my cold, cold skin

      Such a welcome relief

      The light is guiding me in

      Not sure where it will lead

      But is it such a welcome

      It is calling for me

      It is calling me home

      I have been gone so long

      How will they know me?

      But I can hear my name

      They never forgot me

      I did not know I was missing

      Until just now

      When the light came on

      Just beyond that cloud

      It beckons, it calls

      I have been missed

      I was here on loan

      I received Death's kiss

      My turn has come

      Do not be afraid

      Do not cry any tears

      The light belongs to us

      We come from there

      We return there

      It has always been

      It will always be

      Goodnight Sweetheart

      Is time I sleep

      The light will lift me

      My spirit will keep

      Until the day

      Once again

      We shall meet

      Misty Serenade

      I awoke this morning to a wonderful tune

      Trumpets playing under the moon

      Sweet music marching in time

      Waking me up, God giving me a sign

      Misty Angels, singing with the band:

      Though the road is rough, He holds your hand

      You're never alone, Look at the sand

      One set of footprints, Is all you'll see

      For I will cradle, You close to me

      Misty Serenade, Singing the blues

      Drying your tears, Here for you

      Misty Serenade, Bringing you love

      Gentle reminder of heaven above

      Feeling great comfort and faith restored

      Misty serenade sang some more

      Lulled back to sleep, eased of all fear

      Softly singing so I can hear

      Misty serenade angelic band

      Sweetly singing of the promised land

      The Butterfly Sleeps

      The Butterfly sleeps

      Safe in a flower

      Concealed in its beauty

      Hidden from sight

      Delicate wings

      Natural wonder

      Symbol of Hope

      Awed by its splendor

      Feeds on sweet pollen

      Lives in the meadow

      Can fly up to Heaven

      Hide in the shadows

      Causes no harm

      Delivers great joy

      Delicate creation

      Beauty to behold

      Death of a Butterfly

      Watch how she sleeps

      Concealed in a flower

      Hidden from sight

      Delicate wings

      Natural wonder

      Symbol of Hope

      Awed by its splendor

      Eternal sleep

      In sweet pollen

      Died in the meadow

      Soared on to Heaven

      Carried by the breeze

      Received with Joy

      Heavenly being

      Beauty to behold

      Eternal peace

      Immortal soul

      Do Not Cry

      Do not shed any tears

      Do not cry
