The Room

Many hospitals have a room away from the daily hustle and bustle of accidents and ill health 
A room that has comfortable deep chairs, where the light is not bright, nor is too hot or too cold, staffed by top professional nurses
Here they can come, those with chronic pain 
And those who cannot be cured, can sit pain-free for some hours, and sink into a mild euphoria 
This room has no place for religion or fear 
of Darkness, a blessed room for those modern medicine can do no more

This poem evokes a sense of quiet solitude that I can cherish on a busy day.
