The experience which still lingers in my memory till date |
A black raven flew away, After calling the call Of the yet to come, Unknown of the day Dark clouds gathered , Dull unscenic sky lay Conspiring with Fate , The Wind whispered ‘Something awaits’ Unspoken voices , Mumbled, losing itself In the humdrum of daily life People moved clip by clip, In slow motion Reel of life A heart that beats, Sometimes senseless emotions Wisely recognized the call The logical mind, Slapped every beat With a no- nonsense howl Night fallen, The sick miraculously recovered Took his last breath of wellness To descend back into the covers Screaming sirens faded, Into the darkness unknown There I lay in bed jaded , Un-ushered prayers of Hope Drugged by Azarel, Asleep lay my whole My soul awoken, To feel him take his final stroll Sub-consciously I contemplated ‘Oh he is fine and well, Thank the Lord ‘ Not knowing it was , A Gentle breeze of the spirit Joyously sweeping across Happiness in his voice , Death had stood by his vow It was his last visit , His last choice, To bid farewell to all he loved Suddenly awoken, From my pleasant slumber Flabbergasted by all the daunting eyes Asking ‘how one could peacefully sleep, While someone will sleep forever without a choice?’ With Remorse, I sat up in bed Too scared to question , The emotionless masks The answer I awaited , Was more than obvious My heart cried , ‘He is dead ,Don’t ask! |
