WHITE LIFE
Write
when life sinks uplifted quietly,
Unforgettable
unbelievable is realistic,
Human
life, mysterious, entwines events,
When
socked to see life shattered yet not,
Sprouts
green leaves couple, a stem roots,
Decayed
the dead trunk soils absorbed,
The
stem shapes into giant tree foliage,
Unspoken
words just indicated eternity,
How
many houses, reduced to dust, forgotten,
Eyes
watch everything, sighs build a new one,
It
crops up at different times, places, destiny,
The
last page of the story, speechless, ends,
The
girl loved by her neighbor, uncle,
Grew
before him, her parents acknowledge,
Uncle's
house, her home aunty adores,
The
pretty girl grew to beautiful young,
Completed
post-graduate degree good,
The
family celebrated her marriage in a pump,
The
bridegroom, neighbor's son, friends,
Uncle
could know her husband, decent was rich,
Happy
life continued for a few years, sweet,
In
a childless couple, sadness was invisible,
Uncle's
son visits the girl occasionally,
Relations
after her marriage kept cordial,
Dawn
wrecks life and plays havoc sadly,
Unseen
master plays climax to tragedies,
Uncle
from the newspaper came to know,
The
husband of the girl met an accident,
Expired
that night at the hospital,
Talked
to his son being uncle wanted to meet,
Father
and son both visited her,
Heartbroken,
a skeletal shape sunken,
Disarrayed
long black hairs knee length,
Ornaments,
gold jewelry taken out,
Her
life as if standstill, ghostly future,
She
was still young, wearing a vacant look,
Hugged
uncle cried intolerable a sight,
Uncle's
son equally in tears, death of a friend,
They
were close friends from childhood,
Uncle
knows the man, simple, qualified,
Untimely
death accidents are frequent,
But
picture unseen are ruined lives, homes,
Who
note these incidents remember, sad,
For
a moment, see humans stunned, forgotten,
Uncle
didn't forget to tell her, are you coming home,
She
confirmed to return to her parent's place,
There
I chose to write this tragic poem,
How
come; it changed so suddenly, overwhelmed,
Her
uncle decided to conduct a remarriage,
Accepted
the girl to be the bride for his son,
Before
that is confirmed by him,
Arranging
the marriage ceremony for his son,
Just
the neighbor, the girl's parents disbelieved,
First
wordless, then speechless, in a nod,
The
show of love beyond answers sealed,
The
girl heard the news awestruck,
Ran
to her uncle's house and met him,
Why,
how come, uncle, you proposed,
Her
white sari, cut-off long hair, no jewelry,
Bare
feet, without bangles, less vermilion,
A
marble statue I beholding white life,
erased
the color of life, fragrance, rosy,
No
tears, sorrows, resentment stinking,
Life
just turned like stone white,
Felt
wet tears in my eyes and thanked Lord,
What
a master to make break then make,
Mountain
to pebble, pebble to palace,
The
white life white cotton sari grace!
