Anticipation

Awake just now my heart stirs afresh,   comprehending quickly      that today is the day.         Anticipation abounds            as time slowly passes,               sunrise ascends as my spirit fully soars. Waiting as dreams now fill my heart,     a wound of the past        will be taken away.           Excitement does rise             urging my pulse to surge,                planning and preparing now unveiled. My heart beats faster, we are ready to go,    cognizant that this conquest        is another step in the right direction.          Sentient strands of assurance              now I discover,                thundering emotions dwelling close by.  The lightness of mood and gentleness by all,      comforting my senses           my choice rectified.             On to the OR                 a kiss good-bye,                   perception of eliminating one more scar. Waking with a smile, they told me I did,      inside my soul           was a peaceful sigh.             Another step in healing                I took today,                   strength within overcame despair.
