Life

So mom is in the hospital
and I just visited her
and she didn't open her eyes
so that's life, isn't it
where every thought
is a poem
and every blink of the eye
a story
and every breath
a life and a death
in this maze of a myriad
of experience
that goes on and on
but is over
before you know it
and doesn't end there
but goes and goes
so mom is in the hospital
and I just visited her
and she didn't open her eyes.
