This poem refers to a cross over of experience, where I gained an insight into the last days of my mothers life , whilst on morphine in the late stages of a miscarriage.

Prickled fear, rushes hot
White,through my face.
Peeking into subconsciousness
Beyond my hardened wall.

Where I dare not tread,
I dare not think how.
She fought so hard 
For life and lucid dignity.

Blue eyes in a sea of pain
Return to calm, but can't remain.
Grasping slippy looks
I understand, where we have been,

A morphia distance
From the stench of death.
Warm face,dead eyes.
Mother ,we fought in vain.

Thank you it is the first I have posted and I was not sure if it was for sharing. But it did the job words so often can and enabled me to move on and feel constructive.
