The Wait by livelylinda

oh, how I loathe these days,
one foot in, one foot out
but no "shaking all about"

numbing all my senses
to avoid the pain and pill;
slow motion, mostly still

have only six months
or maybe a day;
threw my bucket list away

my conscience is clear,
all burdens now weightless
as I forgive all the thankless

dwelling on the good,
those most precious to me
and where I would rather be

time seems to stand still
and yet, flees hastily
as life drains from me incessantly

Author Notes
My 17 year battle with Coronary Heart Disease is at its end and slid right into congestive heart failure. My heart is enlarged and working about half-time. I'm simply slowly draining life. . .
