I was just inspired to this poem, thanks to all of the replies to my posting
for poetry inputs.  PD, while closing many doors, also opens others, for all
of us, altho' these new doors may be different for each.  For me, it's
definitely my poetry.

OPENING DOORS


Physical limitations
Can close doors
Previously open
And at the same time
Open others
Never before imagined

Forced to sit
Motionless
While waiting for medications
To flow
Provides the opportunity
For meditative thoughts

Sometimes those thoughts
Are fearful
Sometimes they are full
Of stress
While other times
They are naught but
Peaceful

It is the latter times
In which new insights
Are born
For then come the answers
To the fearful
And stressful thoughts

In these times
One's power becomes
Limitless
And one then realizes
The future still has yet
To be written

So, I will gather my thoughts
In these moments
Using them to manifest
A new reality
For myself and for others
Who long to be Free
