Beyond Midnight

He lay awake and hoped to die, Hot tears were rolling down his cheeks: The Cancer took his wife that night (Although she’d bravely fought for weeks). The clock was striking half past twelve; A sudden light appeared and shone; His wife was smiling, touched his hand, She whispered love - and then was gone… For Andrea’s One in Three, Write Beautifully contest

I like the word of description by a couple of the previous poets comments..."haunting", though this is placed under a good light, a haunting of a lover who came to say farewell to her husband who grieves completely for her! This should help him a little to deal with his loss! I really loved reading this fantastic poem here this evening my friend! What a tremendous piece, Quite the wonderful poem, Great Work!!
