LIFE SUPPORT. (A poem)

Spread the love


A still Night

A lonely moon far out of sight

Peeking through the shadows

Peering at a scene through the windows.

The silent beep of hospital monitors

The footfalls of hospital janitors

All is calm

A little too calm.

Machines connected

Tubes reconnected

Tubes taking fluid in

Tubes bring out fluid from within.

Sadness around the room

Relatives quiet, sensing doom

A tear runs down a sad face

A seemingly hopeless case.

Doctors conversing

Nurses documenting

A laugh

Who dares laugh?

An opened eye

A nurse walking by

A flurry of activity

A final gasp, a reach into eternity.
