Life's Sweet Embrace Poem by Yassar Ali

I'm surrounded in flowers as I lay in a coma
Embraced like a halo by their sweet aroma
Whilst the sun slowly rises to illuminate the sky
Streaks of the sunlight visible from my third eye
Birds singing as though there isn't a tomorrow
Whilst the mocking bird sings a song full of sorrow
Interrupted by the dark screeching of the crow
Which is matched by the nightingale down below
Not so far away I can hear innocent children play
Without a care in the world they play away
I can hear the prayer of the patient beside me
Asking to be delivered as he calls to a higher entity
A few visitors showing their support and leaving
Whilst you remain seated beside my bed grieving
Your tired eyes reflecting your undying love for me
Showing what it means to love each other for eternity
You continue to talk to me with eyes full of tears
Continuously whispering our dreams into my ears
The time and place we would finally get married
The time of birth of the baby that you carried
The beautiful home which one day we will own
The first word and the first steps of our newborn
So much to live for yet I lay motionless on this bed
Our dreams repeatedly running through my head
Even in my current state you make me humble
Without your love and support I would crumble
You're like a scaffold supporting me in life
I can't wait to awaken and make you my beloved wife
With every second being a moment of clarity
I rest under the watchful eye of a beautiful entity
I love you for waiting for me. I promise you one day I will hold you in my arms
