UNCERTAIN CHANGE
by John Yeo

Did your physicality leave?
I never began to understand.
Everything seems the same.
I expect you to walk in anytime.
The influences we shared together
Habitual pleasures blended.
The TV's tuned to the same stations
I never liked that show.
I watch it though, just in case.
Life goes on in strange uncertainty.

CERTAIN CHANGE
by John Yeo

I hadn't noticed the subtlety of alteration
Things moved so slowly almost invisibly
Slowly and malevolently the  evil relation
Of the different aspects began to affect me.
~
Weakness, tiredness, were insidious clues
Leading to a rapid health deterioration.
After numerous tests came shocking news
My grave faced Doctor held my attention.
~
"I'm sorry to say you have contracted cancer,
An incurable tumour has grown out of control.
The growth is speedy and very advanced.
We will use every treatment to fight this evil"
~
I sat shattered, rigid with shock at the finality
Of this diagnosis, "How long have I got?"
The Doctor just shook his head in reply.
"There will always be hope, we won't give up."
~
I held my head in my hands at this bombshell
The insidious growth that was inside my brain
Would defeat the slim hope of becoming well.
My life would never be the same again.
~
