The Knowing

The almost rhythmic beep in my ears

The fragile hand in the palm of my own

The taste of the hygienic and clear air

The sight of a body in a sedated slumber

The smell of sanitation and cleanliness

Was a constant under my nose

With the smell of something unexplainable

It couldn't be described

But there was more than just the smell

To this unexplainable thing

It had a sort of sound too

A whisper that was inaudible

But internally you could hear it

I couldn't touch it

It was something intangible

But I could feel it encase my body

and slowly covering my heart

It couldn't be seen

But it felt so powerful

That it seemed like it should've been visible

The taste couldn't be detected

But made every intake of air savored

All of this gathered

Made like a sixth sense

Deep down inside

I knew

It was time

His life

Was over
