Light
a feel of free falling off a bleak tone
the test results from unblinking cell phone
to know that nothing is certain, to bar
the bond between, keeping vigil afar
offered in service to me all the same
to give in sacrifice, stern by its name
how I'm moved to tears, and foolish I am
in sorrow, the fears, the wolf to the lamb
you still judge me not, yet shame me instead
beauty to care shushes me when I dread
I can't share beauty by deathwatch's light
hospital's gloom mirroring only its blight
I'd rather you see a radiance shone
of Winter's moon or afternoon alone
not in a wheelchair so soon in my plight
but lift me, carry me where e'er you might
to escape the exit and to the car
to home's front door & to bed where we are
with candle-lit suppers served on a tray
& trysts spent wrapped in warm quilts every day
till due when it comes a last resting place
while still in these arms the best of their grace
your timeless love drifts aglow with a light
from wavering flame, and unguarded sight

Love those last two lines to close this out
"your timeless love drifts aglow with a light
from wavering flame, and unguarded sight"
Fantastic piece through and through Jadey.
