This is a beautiful imotional poem on pain having touching expression and nice collocation. I feel the last four lines so impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Her whispered words built a dam across my grief But could break anytime with the slightest shock! It is so touching, my Lady poetess. It is so human and positive.
An emotional poem, it touches the heart.........................
Meeting at a terminal stage of one's life is naturally an emotional affair and is bound to leave a lasting imprint. Last four lines say it all. Very well written.

Your poem is a necessary poem, not just in fulfilling your love for your grievously ill friend but also in modelling for the rest of us how to deal with such a terminal situation. You were trying to be strong when you first arrived. Emotion welled up and you shed the tears you were trying to hold back. But those tears were the breakthrough to consolation for your friend. After that you were bonded, reconciled. Your language isso precise, every nuance of feeling is clear and forceful. A poem of truth and beauty for an inevitable experience. .
An exact events of a patient in the last moment that described in the poem and while reading it I felt sorrow in my inner heart which I have had such experiences of events. It is a sadness which couldn't forget to an ordinary human being and sadness increases while it is your near and dear one...Wonderful poem and emotional too respected poet.
Touching poem indeed, poignantly crafted. It seem that it poured out from your heart. I could feel the pain in each lines..Beautiful concluding lines..... Her whispered words built a dam across my grief But could break anytime with the slightest shock! ......Just a faint hope left...Loved reading each lines.
Heart wrenching poem, the flow of emotions were so deep, so touching and heart felt. Very well described.
When the call the final exit comes, one needs to be ready. At that stage nothing should matter. This life has been lived and there is nothing more to it. A positive attitude is needed at every stage in life. Beautiful poem developing the idea. Thank you.
So touching this is and so poignantly crafted with heartbreaking words it really touched my heart.........Valsa........ great write as usual........
The myriad of emotions at that brief moments expressed vividly. To suffer the pain of seeing someone close ebbing away can be heart wrenching. The last two verses of the third stanza coupled with the last two-lined stanza sums up that death is only passing into another life, eternally. Unique experience. Great Write.
Did a lifetime of our companionship Fleet across her feeble mind No, I could hearken to the murmur of her heart 'Don't worry! In the Kingdom of Light I shall soon find a nest where I'll wait! '........loved these lines. Really it is a beautiful poem.
