Hospital ward


A poem is a harmonious blend of content and form with the right mood to make it meaningful...

Hospital ward



The corridor was as cold as ice
My exhausted body liberated my spirit

Perhaps my only asset which I nursed
Through my life with care and cure

I saw a little bird fluttering desperately
It had lost its way and hit the ceiling

I wanted to cry aloud to the bird

“come down a little and fly out
Out of the small window with bars”

I looked at it with sunken eyes
My voice froze in my throat …
