Day of uncertainty, day of frost.
With thoughts
apprehensive, I await
the judgement.
The crowded waiting room
is silent, except for
the TV mounted on a wall.
Through the window the trees
are bare, sky deep blue.
A muddy footprint
soils the pristine white floor.
No smiles in here.
Two tiny droplets poised
on the tap
of the drinking water chiller.
Lipstick mark on a plastic glass.
A woman emerges in tears
from the consulting room.
Today, I will not cry
if my consultant delivers bad news.
I will accept my fate and celebrate
each moment I still have left...
Written three weeks ago...I have now been given the all clear (at least for the present)! 😁

Yes! been there..Done that..And, being told,
ReplyDelete'all clear' is music to anyone's ears...and
the word present is very appropriate at this
time of year..! :).
I went to the doctors recently after a very
long while..she said to me...
"Hello Willie, have'nt seen for ages" I said
"No! I've been ill". HeHe! She told me to...
go..lie down..! :).
I told her..l felt like a million dollars...
ALL green and crinkly..!!! :o).
On the serious side..good news for you all
