Pacing around the hospital room Celebrating my life beginning anew While mere feet away many Loved will shortly ascend Seeing their last glows of fluorescent lights before The End I know most associate them with stale coffee But I always felt they shone down quite heavenly Sparkling and igniting inner luminosity I hope the Loved are spellbound by that sight And when they go to the Light The angels will tell them They were always winking down at them Through part of humankind’s own desire to be bright *First published in Bombfire*
