The Meeting

Breathing is difficult
Short sharp rattling

Vision is blurred
White closing in


Life running out
Time to journey 

You are here
Again to help


Nothing to fear
Hands reach out

Body slips away
Immortal soul flies

  6. Very dark painting (despite the swathes of pale colour) calls for a dark poem. Well done, Bee!
