So sick
he’d have to get better to die
Each breath
grows more distant and thin
Longevity
a dream that’s now passed him by
The call
— of tomorrow lost deep in the wind

Lovely Kurt the first lines reminded me of hearing something similar long ago and how hard it struck. Very nice
Thanks SB.
Most welcome my friend
Damn, Kurt. This is a tough one. I've witnessed people nearing the end of their lives, and no matter how many times I've encountered it, it never gets easier. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Totally agree.
