dashed hopes

today,
i woke up from my nap
and realized i was comfortable
totally relaxed
at peace
my mind calm
no pain in my body
anywhere.

but,
just as i was starting
to smile,
to acknowledge how
good i felt
and that i must really be
starting to heal...

my body
started up again.
the pain came back
the moment was lost.
gone.
forever.
