Isolation And Alone Poem by Daniel Bernard Kelleher

In isolation waiting
Fretting as I wait
Not good news iam afraid
Bad news the doctor says
Talking to my sibling
as if I wasn't there
Get his house in order
While he's still here
Am I hearing right
Or is this a dream
Inconsiderate timing
What do they mean
In a coma since the day
Cannot really communicate
He's still my husband
I heard my wife say
His heart still beating
He's breathing on his own
So back off from him
Soon I will take him home
Because his eyes are closed
And he cannot communicate
He's not ready to go
To the Pearly Gates
