I just looked up at the sky,
It was an incandescent blue.
The sun rays dancing in my hair.
I picked a dandelion and blew it away.
“This could be the last time”, I thought
I was coming from my last chemo session
The doctor did not have much hope.
Ellie Nik is a teacher/researcher who lives in Sydney, Australia. She writes as a way of self-discovery.
Just read this wonderfully poetic story
Hoped that, for the author, it was a piece fiction
Thanks for your comment Marco. For now, it is a piece fiction.
I hope 🙏 your dandelion wishes come true.
Thanks Edythe, I hope so!
Powerful and so well done!
If it’s non-fiction, I send best wishes.
Thanks Jennifer! It is a fiction for the author!
I hope the subject of your piece had more hope than her doctor!❤️
They do have more hope than their doctor, Ruth!
