The pictures embroidered with pain

I devoted this poem to Veronika - the woman who died several times which lives contrary to diagnoses. She is a fighter who feels times already so grown dull from pain and fatigue that it is necessary sometimes - not to take one thought medicine and to stop these tortures. But its spirit forces every time to use that chance which it still has.

I communicate with it on Skype and in the messenger. Sometimes I send it real letters. I wait from it for the letter now. After our work on its children's injuries it became me as the sister. Before our communication it was in a half-step dying voluntarily. But chose to live!

Perhaps, to someone from you happens also insufferably badly, painfully, alone, terribly, senselessly. Grab life for a ray of the sun on a wall, the dismissed kidney on a tree branch, for a cloudlet in the sky, for a candle flame, for feeling of bare feet on a cold floor, for the first drink of water after awakening.

And every day as I woke up
I note the life
In a bed softly stretched
And I learn a body again
Here skin, hands, fingers, lips
Stomach, knees, head
Language, back, clavicles, teeth
Thanks, My God, I am alive!
It is alive to spite me sent
It is alive to diseases contrary to
It is alive in reproach me betrayed
And not offered to me hands.
It is alive and the sun shines again
It is alive and met spring
So far I live in this world
I remember the truth one:
Life is given me only in this body,
And I will keep this gift.
Destinies universal swing
I will slowly stop.
Also I will get down from them on this earth
I will walk barefoot on sand
I do not accept a sin of despondency
And in the sea I will dissolve melancholy.
I will live, breathe and cry,
To laugh, be angry, love,
To smoke, have coffee, to sing and crap,
And to embroider - I will LIVE!


Let it be!


Admire pictures which are embroidered by this beautiful woman in rare rest-hours which at her happen in intense life. Veronika works more than 24 years of years as the nurse in microsurgery, in very intense schedule.


It is more detailed to learn about her life and its diagnoses it is possible from my book "Veronika Decides to Live". And in this publication I want to share some of its works.
