A Hospital Vision

Dusk was growing into the night. She moaned in pain and boredom. She looked upwards towards the window. Seemed dirty, she thought. Headstrong, she turned on her side. In a sitting position, she clutched the rod Which supplied her with some drip. Nausea gripped her, like seasickness. She rested for a while but soon She gripped the rod and stood up. She felt tired but was as always headstrong. Slowly she plodded towards the window. How beautiful were the stars shining afar! Still, dizziness took hold of her Till she fell unconscious on the floor Though she smiled in happiness. Two nurses realised something was wrong And came into the hospital room. They lifted her up onto the bed Covered with thick blankets. Doctor’s care was immediate Finally, she recovered touch and go. Yet they were all surprised as she still looked Smiling at the window displaying stars.
