Into the Unknown

Into the Unknown

A Poem by MCS

Why not just accept

why say things

you have no

way of knowing

 

How can one

really know

what’s in

another’s mind

 

Our friend

got sick

news poor

from the start

 

It’s whispered

he should

have sought

a second opinion

 

Should have fought

asked for help

explored options

taken his pills

 

He took

the news

set out on his own

across country

 

Alone he found

what he needed

returned home

put his house in order

 

Invited his friends to dinner

said his good byes

turned in

and took all his pills

'Into the Unknown'
MCS,
This friend made decisions all his life as we all do. It's natural for ones that care to struggle when someone dies. It's just hard. That's all. But the person that sees the future and life end looming has to deal with the reality for themselves. We can't do it. We can help, try to be involved. Many a time that is enough. I appreciated this piece very much.
Blessings to you.
Kathy
