Inner Woman Volume 2

The possibilities are endless.

The ends and beginnings.

Hope and despair.

Obstetrics

Full of life

The angry squall

Newly born

Intensive care

Where another holds

their lover

for the last time

Down the hall,

the lucky ones leave

Babies in infant child seats

The recovering taking their

last ride out.

The empty wheelchairs

speak of relief and elation.

Escape from hospital hell

The chapel where lonely

visitors dot the pews,

deep in prayer as their lips

move silently

And a single girl

Slips in calling

Mom! He woke up.

Tears of joy spill from

frozen eyes

Miracles and tragedies

Death lurks ready to

Pounce

Life struggles to continue

and pays the price no matter

the twist, disappointing the

dark wraith

He whispers....

Is it worth it?

And I float above it all

A choice is mine

Live or die?

Only I can decide.
