Friend left ICU
We arrived to play word games
Hospital or no.
Underneath unspoken words
When will I go through this door?

Thank you, Lynn. 🙂
Viva! I got chills reading your words. Powerful and a wake-up call to us all. I’m glad you joined in. Many hugs, my friend. ❤
Thanks, Colleen. ❤ It was a wakeup call for me too. Tanka is challenging and I want to write more.
