An Emotional Heart

 

                                     An Emotional Heart   

              

                 

                   Years accelerate, down slippery slide,

                   stoic, night, await dawn, eyes open wide,

                   perspective of life’s journey poignant day

                   stressed, prepped, time drags, but no delay.

 

                  

                   Memory fades, operation to commence

                   green masks, gowns, theatre’s mode of dress,

                   awakes, surgeon’s beaming smile, heartfelt sign,

                   only floating plaque, arteries medically fine.

 

 

                   Tick tock, tick tock, eyes alert, wide open

                   relieved by diagnosis, exulting emotion.
