Room-Mates

Living with epilepsy?
A question from a stranger
difficult to answer when
epilepsy only lives with me ~
doesn’t show itself in 
unconscious flailing
a crash to the floor without warning
ragged, frightening breathing  

Epilepsy sleeps. Quietly tucked in my brain masked by a small bit of medication, calming and grounding with yoga and exercise
sleeping a good sleep each night - most of the time.

I offer a huge dose of gratitude 
and as long as I live with care ~
living with epilepsy is
easy, but not simple.

“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.”
~ Socrates
