Open Heart Surgery

See how the procedure goes..

Love responded late when 911 called
Ego came rushing down the hall
Technically they are both surgeons.
Side by side overlooking this fluctuating heart
Time clerks details
But pain was all over the place
X-ray revealed piece of peace
All clogged in fear and Fury

Reality propped him up
Pulse faint getting fainter
Consciousness tagged comatose

Euthanasia or life support
Ego chose the former
Love doesn't gamble
Neither will it succumb

Memories gave a single shot
Hope begun to beep
Tears dropping as the EKG read then stopped reading
Life is neither finite nor limitless

Life- open surgery

[Great Aunt Astri]

life is a bit like open surgery! Love and the Ego taking all kinds of knocks. But as you say, Life is neither finite nor limitless. Good for you, for writing this salutary poem.
