A Villanelle for a not so special occasion

Hospitals

Never have I seen a more extraordinary place,
never have I been more shocked to see,
never will there be a more shocking space.

There are those that linger through with grace,
watching over a place like a dead sea.
Never have I seen a place with a kinder embrace.

The ones that have passed away now travel through a race,
running through the halls and not a person can see.
Never will there be a more shocking space.

There are the ones that stand by in sickness waiting for a blessing grace,
from someone above or someone willing to help them be.
Never have I seen a place with a kinder embrace.

However there will be the ones that are not so lucky in this place,
the ones not as fortunate than some that survive for another day to see.
Never will there be a more shocking space.

One must hope that in this space,
people all find the survival key.
Never have I seen a place with a kinder embrace.
Never will there be a more shocking space.
