Holding On Poem by Niam Dodd

Holding On



The pane you are gazing through will soon crack
Leaving a picture of empty cardboard
An expression now seldom looking back
Upon visiting the terminal ward
One or two mutters would provide relief
A subtle hint that all is as it should seem
To drought the pain emerging underneath
This is no nightmare, but a pleasant dream
Pretending the subject does not lie here
In a sterile, unwelcoming abode
Placate the mind to eliminate fear
All debts collated are no longer owed
Now sit contently with your cup of tea
An equilibrium, for all to see
