He started his day
As he always would
He laced his shoes
And ran through the woods
He listened to music
And felt the breeze
Passing through
The towering trees
On returning home
He panted much
He couldn’t understand
Why it hurt so much?
He thought nothing of it
And shrugged it off
He ran a bath
And washed the sweat off
Kissing his wife
Then his two kids
Not to wake them
God forbid
Ready for work
He got in the car
He coughed hard
And saw stars
He arrived at work
Feeling weird
Dazed and tired
He started to fear
He collapsed on the floor
The others came
Call an ambulance
He is in pain
The ambulance arrived
In their gear
Spaceman suits
Ordering people clear
Took away
Everybody out
Cordoned off
People shout
To the hospital
This poor guy
Can hardly breathe
He can only lie
Put in a bed
Examined, scared
No one close
To love or care
Feeling weak
He can hardly move
Crying now
What can he do?
Put on oxygen
Case getting worse
Family told
They have been cursed
He slips away
To a final sleep
Forgetting family
As they weep

WOW! Philip, your poem is sensitive, intense and powerful. Death comes without notice.

I was deeply touched Philip. Death is the only
certainty we have in life, but almost nobody dares to write or talk about it. Your poem is beautiful.
