Romeo Naces Poet Tail-rhyme

Hospital Ward Musings

with the newborn, 
   the dying and the dead,
      joyful scream and 
         grieving shrieks 
            swirl about,
               new lives flowing in, 
                  spent lives ebbing out.


much to be grateful 
   for births and rebirths,
      laser-sharp knives, pain 
         and dread for death,
            with each gasping for 
               the first or last breath.


Dried leaves whirl away, 
   green sprouts sway,
      shrouds of forgetting, 
         vague rememberings
            at the seamless rim 
               of ends and beginnings!
