It is

Close to death in a hospital bed 2010

Ha! What a joke it is
It's just like smoke it is
Impossible to hold it is
Just not here it is

Somewhere over there it is
Miles from anywhere it is
Safe behind the stars it is
there in paradise it is
Where I want to be it is

I find this poem about a serious topic handled enjoyably.
The first line reminded me of a joke the comedian Gallagher said.
"God loves jokes. He gave me hair... then he took it away."

I liked the flow, the feel, and the structure of this.
Keep writing.

That's a lovely way of expressing something residing in the unseen.
