Medical student on call
Echoing cries
Billowing through his ears,
Quiet floors, quiet mind
Simple life, simple time
Some to die, some to live.
And a child enters his hands
Life's awesome wonders
Majestically surround him.
Flowing blood, beating hearts
Love's loss, Love's triumph,
Mother sighs and baby cries
Tears crown him and
Laughter assails him,
Life pouring throughout
Life pouring through him!
He sits quietly on the floor
Behind his closed call door.
____
Freedom, freedom, flight of mind
Flying to see, hovering to be
Eternity poised in a moment's glance
Everything today is tomorrow
Child is born, man is dying
A new kidney, a new start.
Flight of mind, away, away, away
High up soaring to the sea
Moon shimmering through the waters
Beaches glisten in the hue
Waves wash over me
Time cleanses me.
Rest seet bird,
know peace,
peace
for soon you must return
To your human nest.
