Baby's Breath

Baby's breath 
tiny petals 
white love 
drips 
down weary 
cheeks 
yellow and
red lights 
glimmer 
in the dark
sterile halls
Hippocratic Oath
prevails
shifting tides 
turn thoughts 
lack of conviction
comes into question 
whispered words 
of God and Mary 
secret prayers said 
in silence
bended knee
head bowed
to the almighty
beads slip through 
fingers to faith 
in good time
answers come 
to those that wait ...
