[bodytext] => All alone, a stranger in the night’s silence, I sat by her in the quiet hours while taking her last breathers steadily back in and back out I listened to the sounding’s muffled cloud of the moans and groans and the gargles in her lungs in the wee hours of the night taking care of her last needs, was I in any possible way, being her comforter while heaven readied to take her in the chair, on the floor by her bed, by the door I moved around in the silence of her sounds trying to stay awake to be aware if she goes on her way heavy weighted were my eyes yet heavy burdened were her cries keeping me awake in the silence of the night there, watching her last moments of life, when the sudden moments of her last breaths did arrive, I watched the patterns of her breaths in fright- sounding like muffled chains short double quickened breaths of pain silent moans and groans and the sound of gargling fluid filling her lungs in a quickening moment, her breath was gone panicking, jumping to my feet running to the phone and there I stood in the drafts of shock as a wind upon me did knock causing me to turn around, for there she was alert, wide eyed, breathing through her lungs spooked, chilled, shocked towards her bed I walked as I watched her take her last breaths taking her to where her life ends- her heart again stopped for several moments long to only beat a few more minutes before she was gone then she closed her eyes shut, as her body shut down gone, stiffened, cold her body, suddenly empty and hollow in love and freedom, tenderly, and steadily, she was gone she is now flying free in her new life’s beginning released from the captivity of the weight and chains from her body a hostage kept, ever sickening to the very day, she went flying free she overcome all of life’s adversity and entered a new life of embracing for she- ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ good bye Ardis, it was a pleasure to serve you, and an honor to learn about you and to feel your amazing, sweet, and courageous spirit.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
