They are not in there they have gone. Don’t search for the beautiful light that once shone, They are not themselves, their soul has fled Gone to us, to all purposes dead. How cruel, how mean, how so unkind To leave a feeble body and take a beautiful mind. There are no words that can truly describe The pain and fear of those trapped inside. They can not reason they know no rhyme They are gone and we are left behind. Recognition in the eyes is sadly mockery. This is no longer them, they are not who they used to be. Screams of anger, voices harsh with fists of hate You try so hard, you have so much on your plate. There is no more that you can do. They may be gone, still you try to be true.
Just a little explanatory word. I wrote this poem one afternoon June, 2013, I do not know where it came from I just wrote it. It is about a person dying peacefully of some disease it could be one of many. I do not know if any of my lost friends have passed this way but I wish they could of died peacefully like this . I wish death could of been gentle for them and for all of us………..
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances, it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently, no thought of stinging.
Children are playing along the road, they must be home from school.
Time, time is my enemy always too fast, too slow never anybody’s fool.
I feel rested in the sun, relaxed maybe this is a new journey I have begun
Nothing to worry about anymore, nothing to rush for, nothing to come.
Gently things begin to fade, is this it or is just that I am lying in the shade
No I can no longer move , here comes the silent peace I crave.
I am happy that there will be no more treatment or pain
I am sorry for those who I love that will have to remain.
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
I hope they will not think me selfish, I could really fight no more
Here comes death to claim me and I feel safe as he leads me to his door.
Peace, peace no pain, no needles no scans no tired smile
I am going now, I love you all and I shall be here but not seen, loving you all the while.
Fingers almost blue, toes numb like her soul. Fear has her in it’s grip , she was no longer whole. The lights twinkle on the water and the snow Eyes closed she stands silently rocking to and throw . Warmth and home seemed a million miles away. Under this bridge damp and bitter her only place to stay. Tears cannot fall when frozen but they hurt as much. She longed for a gentle word or loving touch. Watching the lights on the water dance. Like little fairies they leap and prance. Music floats across the water to her ears Laughter and an happy voices, she hears. Tired, so tired she slumps down on the frozen ground Watches the lights from the house praying never to be found. Maybe she could of spoken out but she had not dared. Who would believe her who would of cared Slowly life slips away from her grasp. Suddenly she is held in a warm, kind clasp. A soft voice takes her to a happier place She opens her eyes and sees God’s face.

Ronovan said : You may, if you wish, make some kind of link between the Haiku Challenge prompt of (MAD and Sane) which and this Décima Challenge of GIFT in the B rhyme line. This means you could write a haiku post using the prompt words. Then do a Décima post using this week’s prompt uniting the two with a common message.
The 2 CHALLENGES are SEPARATE but CAN BE combined if YOU CHOOSE to do so. I chose to do so. Here is the link to my Haiku.
The gift of madness.

Corridors full of empty souls Dancing but their spirits won’t lift. Sanity is not ours to gift Lost forever all youthful goals Here hope is gone it downhill rolls. Screaming inside, making no sound Dancing in circles round and round. Foresake all hope of leaving here. Keeping guard, surrounded by fear. We’re all lost never to be found.

Gently she gives my elbow a knock. Her eyes full of love “I need you” I smile back needing her too. She is my foundation and rock. Tells the time better than a clock. When I’m well she’s out running free When I’m not well she clings to me Somehow she knows just what to do. She’ll always guide me good and true. Ruby is my lifesaving prop.
Hi guys I have been into hospital and had my operation last Friday. Though the operation did go well, unfortunately I was very unwell and ended up back in hospital in the early hours of the morning. With vomiting, excruciating pains and a high fever. Anyway 12hrs of fluids, painkillers and antsickness med drips I was allowed home again. I am picking up slowly. But I wanted to apologize to everyone who’s posts and comments I have missed in the last few days.
Today is the first day I have felt anything like myself. I am slowly catching up with you all. I keep getting pains and feeling sick but it is a huge improvement on how I was feeling. So fingers crossed I can catch up with you all in the next few days. Please be patient with me.
