Counting To Ten

One’s the beginning
The first number I count
It starts this long process
Of ten magical numbers

Two always comes next
No turning back, now
For the healing’s begun
As my soul pours open

Three follows two
As my pain starts to leave
My heartbeats accelerate
While my breathing goes deep

Number four is come
I’ll be soon at my peak
And my mind starts slipping
In the few seconds I have left

Five is now here
The climax of light
Blinding yet soothing
Cleansing my tears I cried crimson

Six comes at last
As five slowly fades
Six patches now clean wounds
To which five granted health

Seven flies by
Feelings fleeting so fast
Rushing and whizzing
Now out of my life

As eight dawns upon me
I open my eyes
And blink away darkness
As I close them, again

Nine has waited
With oh, so patient hands
And fingers so nimble;
So soothing and soft

Ten finishes it all
And slowly I return
From floating in a haven
That washes my soul free
