Some Poems by Bill Swann in Graditude of being an Osteopathic Emergency Medicine Physician, a Kung Fu / Tai Ji Guy and in Getting Older!

Code Blue, ICU!!!

Code Blue, ICU!!!

Code Blue, ICU!!!


Sometimes, I Wake the Dead,

So,that they can Die , a little bit longer.

Sometimes, the Dead Awake!!!

Sit Up!! And Laugh Outloud,

Ha, Ha, Ha,!!!

Then Death,

Skulks out the Door,

For AWhile, with a Guiltless Smile.

The Joy is Out There!!

If You Want IT!!

With the Tears>


Code Blue, ICU!!!

Code Blue, ICU!!!


Bill Swann D.O., June 1986


The Winds are my Walls

The Winds are my Walls

The Sky , my Ceiling

The Earth my Floor,

I Live with a Feeling,

of teh Breath of Life,

moving thru the Floods and Into the Stones

then Threw the Trees,

Now, Into my Bones.

Peace and Contentment,

are Possible to Find

If One Lives in Their Breath

Not, in their Mind.
