Inspired by the theme at
Today lights is the prompt (thank you Maharukh). You would think 'an easy one', and maybe that's true, but as an oncology nurse I would like to write a few haiku on lights associated with my work in the local hospital. Every day I have to deal with very ill people. Some of them are shortly diagnosed with cancer, others dealing with cancer for a long time. Not only the patients have to deal with their illness, but also their relatives have to deal with it. I hope that this will be a good one.
after a while
several chemo cures further
light in his eyes
light in his eyes
day by day it becomes less
the end is near
the end is near
family and friends gathering
after a while
after a while
eyes become dark, no sparkle
finally heaven calls
finally heaven calls -
he ... has gone ... the pain will be gone
after a while
