She swam in her delirium in an unfamiliar semi-darkness <br />Around her an ocean in slow motion engulfed her dizzy senses <br />Voices from a faraway space echoed garbled in her straining ears <br />She flew past all horizons wings spanning across many light years. <br /> <br />The flight was such thrilling she wished it had never ended <br />But she was slowing down on an emptiness she descended <br />Seeing and hearing nothing she fell inside senseless gravity <br />Lay silent in anaesthesia the patient in Bed 223.<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bed-223/
