The Inevitable

Written in Dec 2007 at hospice awaiting the inevitable

We sit and watch, await the inevitable. I am rubbed raw. A wound opens as if a limit has been reached, and I've had all the tragedy I can take. Now I see through filters, toned in black and white. Everything else pales in comparison.

I can't recall joy or a situation which might produce it. Only the hysteria that takes me on occasion, and I embrace it in return. I know we all come to this, but it still doesn't change the injustice of it all.

This trespass will not easily be forgotten.
I will carry it with me the rest of my days.

I think we all on occasion wish we could turn back the hands of time. Thank you, Uday.

[Unknown Poet]

True... Most welcome :)

[Gee]

That's sad, but also life and where we are all heading. I'm hoping to pop off without fuss, suddenly, in my sleep. Or whilst flying an aeroplane filled with people that have irked me over the years. Very well written
