Hospital

The miracle of this modern place,
its glass and keen architecture
reaching skyward, a stunning reminder
of all that we pour into finding healing and hope.

Yet grounded without answers or solutions,
barely coping with too many questions
and round the clock vigils, we rely on prayers,
and touches and tears with friends and family -
like shadows of our hope come to life,
waltzing us about until the song ends,
and they have to retreat to their own lives.
