At Doctor Hardy’s
by Michael O’Reilly

a profound moment
comes

in the wise corners
of the doctor’s sacred office…

in that
moment
I know

I will
be vastly healed

enormously
fundamentally
well

the threshold
of my brain

welcomes
the healing substances
that he gives me

the light of
his biochemical genius
is shed on me

and I sit mesmerized
my family around

a future of hope
and discovery await me

Doctor Hardy
Is courage

a shining light
kissed by a river
of love

at Doctor Hardy’s
the mind heart and soul
brighten renew and release

prepared
to transcend

all adversity
