Comatose

Sounds of medical monitoring machines Echo in the brain of a comatose marine Lying on a gurney hospital's bed Least of all, nothing is said Those present bow their heads Praying his not already dead Eye's flutter, the patient awakes, from their comatose state Ironically, the marine didn't pass through heaven's gate Risking life and limb then joining life again

I like this one. Rather reminds me of one of mine, "Patients and Patience" (it's on here somewhere). My man was lying on a gurney or trolley being wheeled through a hospital - after some grief. However, I'm pleased you are "joining life again" here. Some nice thoughts in this piece, Michael. It's funny being reminded of something one has written, and admire someone else's poetry. It's almost like shaking hands.

A nice short piece Michael with good rhyme and flow with expression. Have a good day, Gordon
