Tired of the Fighting Heart

There is a cold rumbling in my heart On and on I feel this mid chest unease Upcoming days tests and MRIs clucking sounds I sense breath and if the worse happens What then, doesn’t it come to all of us Sometime the eyes darken and the blood No longer flows I have seen those cold Whites of the eyes so still I have felt the unmoving heart An ungrieving brain cooling It comes to everyone — every being But every creature fights back And hearts rumble in the light I am tired of arguments and Uneven talks with no place to go And with the cold departing heart

One of course should not give up, but I can agree with you that times come when everything seems black. Great write.

Reminds me of the last time I had to stay in the hospital. This a good descriptive write.
