Emptiness is Coming

It’s funny how she has always lived and loved her life

And loved every joy of it

Every pain was worth it, that made her grow

Now the creeping reality is testing her

Her unwanted guest (PD) is demanding more

Than she wishes to give up


An urgency , plans in place

Notes and check lists

Safely placed letters and gifts of thoughts for those she love

Time is running away, even though she lives in the moment.


Amongst the pain and tiredness

A colourful light bounces around

she catches it on paper with ink and scrawl

Paintbrush swishes and pours pictures

On to canvas.


There is an urgency now

To leave her footprint where she has have been

To catch the beauty in her head

Before the emptiness swallows her up

And she forgets…..
