I saw a blatant beauty after an apocalypse-
The strength after several years of weakness.
Hope, in Pandora's jar, flickered close to the hearth
The small glow that could fade away any time;
You believed it to be the end, but it was a new light,
The hope of freedom glowed red in the coals,
The fire in the fireplace, could hardly provide any warmth;
A heart too exhausted, eyes too overworked
And now, even hope wanted to find a new space;
Beyond all the sleepless nights, above all pains,
With the stars, that a journey was going to commence;
It didn't hurt as seventy years flashed in a beat:
Some memories did probably, but they won't anymore.
But you had to feel everything once, for the last time,
The earthly smell, the ambiance, people,
Delicious food, and maybe even the birds twittering!
You saw, some teary eyes, heard a beeping noise,
You held my gaze for two seconds perhaps, and then
With a deep inhale, you let go of all the weight,
The doctor then said: "I'm sorry, she couldn't be saved!"
