Sunday's Whirligig 154

This week's words come from " Brantwood Senilia" by Paul Batchelor

dangerous friends illness care giving morbid
led daylight room  leave eight trance


dangerous illness
eight friends leave
her mind led
by thoughts
morbid and trance like
dissolve
as daylight streams
through the hospital room




her care giver arrives

  1. Your poem and mine are so similar it's eerie!

  2. Yes, I remember being alone with you, in the hospital room, daylight streaming in. As if it was any ordinary day, but it was not. I walked in the park in the sun shine, still I could see your room, pick out the window. First days of summer.

  3. The last three months of my wife's life was in a hospital bed with the initial hope of coming home slowly being dashed by the inevitable. I hope I go quickly so I don't upset my family too much.

  4. Excuse me....I forbid you to die before we go see the Flinders Ranges...I have never been there and everyone says it is beautiful.
