The Thirst

The thirst drained his soul dry It was all that he could think about Every minute of every hour of every day Until each cell cried out - enough But there was no end in sight Still it lingered on and on and on For the thirst would not let him die Until the last day when it changed The thirst just let go suddenly without warning And there was a re-birth into a new world. © Paul Warren Poetry

G'day Paul … well said Paul. It is a very sad tale when a body craves for whatever is going to kill them - thank you Paul - Lindsay
