Near Death Experience (NDE)

Her eyes fluttered
her chest sank
they became frenzied
couldn't lose a patient

she watched them
and wished they would stop
she walked outside
and felt the sun

she touched a boy
who did not see her
but he shivered
held his jacket closer

then she coughed in pain
closed her eyes
and woke up to faces
of doctors and nurses

She closed her eyes
reining in her pain
she shed silent tears
wishing she was dead again

the peace she touched for a while
was something she wanted for keeps.
