Daily Routine In Hospitals

The EKG-ECG beeped as she "breathed" heavily with the oxygen mask across her face gradually her hope "limped" her little fingers revealed her hunger for comfort her spontaneous restricted movements showed her mind refreshed the terrible moments of deja vu- the scene that sprung her sadness the silence around her seemed intimidating-stealing-encapsulating her awareness lying on the bed she appeared death infested-deficiently dying looking life malnourished in need of resuscitating replenishment no one was there to console her- to deliver a presence of comfort-hope I knew she had forgotten the presence of her guarding angel as the quietly dripping water from her eyes somewhat proved me right she bled helpless-hopeless uncertain tears as her final moments on planet earth ticked and the EKG-ECG beeped delivering its warning signal silently watching the current sent by the defibrillators to her left chest-into her heart kept me on hope's track her parents waited in undying frustration as the doctors unveiled the exterminating news the truth is what I lay before you before the arrival of the doctors she had crossed over to another world - "breathed" past resuscitation point-center.
