Light To Heaven

Karyn Indursky-2013

From blue curtain eyes

watching her silently fade

as she detaches herself from life...

Her eyes to her soul

close when you think she's sleeping,

but in reality she's slipping

into the acceptance of losing 

the battle to cancer.

Drifting between life and death

she can't sip from a straw,

but needs a sponge to keep

her mouth moist, her body hydrated,

but incapable of taking her medications

and pains ripple through her...

not only physically, but mentally and emotionally.

Finding a path

from past, present, and an unknown future,

we travel not alone,

but with God guiding the way,

catch riveting tears,

and help light faith.
