EXISTENCE!

           The colour…

Drained from her face
when she got the news.
She had expected it….
"It happens to everyone,
Is it really my time"! She wailed.

         Existence…

Meant to her, opportunity,
love, happiness, a family,
fluffy kittens, and not forgetting…
Her 'life'!

         Shattered…

"It is over" she said
as she bowed her head
in retched sobs.
"I am not ready, I have too much to do"
"It has come all too soon"

          Answer? …

I could not answer…
How do you comfort
someone whose life,
has just been…
Terminated at thirty!

FOOTNOTE:
Feed back on this series is said to remind the reader of a TV program titled 'Logan's Run'...
I would like to point out that my series of poems
is in no way related to said program.
My poems are pure fabrication on my part. I have never seen 'Logan's Run'
