I have known it coming all these days
These specters in long white gowns
Decide my future in hushed whispers
As their smoky whiteness envelops me
Their shadowy medical epithets fall
Like the feathers of a bird in flight.
It is just like it was at that time
When I muscled my helpless way through
Your all-around mother-softness
Now that I am growing into nonexistence
Tell me what I should do with these
Useless brilliant multi-colored shadows
I have been collecting all these days.
I feel I can empathise with you here...well written...thank you

Thank you, Fiona; the poem has been occasioned by the heart attack incident which I had seen in a friend's house: thanks
