Rambling across the grassy flowering meadow, She felt like walking on air, as she flipped off her shoes, She ran across, feeling the dewy fresh morning grass, All dotted with a kaleidoscope of colourful wildflowers. She came down to the rivulet, her favourite place. Instinctively she looked into the water just to see Her face floating on the surface, a lovely smiling face No wrinkles, no defects, not even a nevus to mar it all up. Her lover sat down near her, showing her the food he brought. She had not thought of eating and pulling him down She kissed him full on his inviting lips, her Adonis. Love was her food, her only food, as she felt the burn in her. At last satiated, she laid down and put her head on his lap Dreaming incredible scenes of luxurious, and joyful love. 8 0 8
Two doctors were discussing her case. They looked at the old badly wrinkled woman lying on the bed, immovable. “Only that machine is keeping her alive. Irreversible Coma.

Always a great narrative! Enjoyed the dreamy beginning and felt for the woman in the end. You showed us what was going on outside the patient’s experience. Hugs

Thoughts seem to wander in many different directions. While in a dream-state, anything is possible. This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Victor, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Who knows what if anything goes on inside a persons mind, when in an irreversible coma, but the contrast is stark here, a perfect moment, or a shrug of shoulders, congratulations Victor on a quiet moving POTD! Cheers David

If you're going to dream your end, make it a bloody good dream. Sad reality out there. The old are expendable.
