Hospital fealings

Coridors empty
Yet footsteps heard
Secrets whispered
Yet privacy lost
Pain driping from walls
Moans that echo
Giving shivers all around
Help needed
Received after minutes tick by
Lonelyness abounds
The acke for love
The need for hugs
Calming words
Holding hands 
Tears wiped
Smiles given
Laughter to abound
As memories are shared
The presence of new life
That gets forgotten by the stillness
The constant wispers
The death that threatens
The smell
The faces
Domb is destined
All around it seems
Yet lets remember
Life is in these walls
In everybody that breaths

For me hospitals have always felt like doom. Whenever I spend time there it's hard to remember at times that, there is life in these walls.
These feelings have come closer in the past week as my Oma spent time there. Her time there was a very deap reminder that death is just round the corner, especially for her. Our days are all numbered. Perfectly for each one of us by our precious Lord.
