aM






little fingers

grasp

trying to clutch on

to my friend

tight..

eye keeps

the friend

in sight..

ears hear

for every

breath..

every cell

breathes

for the

still form..

voice stammers

you know..

you know

thakshaka..

let me

tell you

a story..


























no

response..






















once upon

a time

it continues

eye looks

sideways

for help

desperate

























no

response



























once upon

a time

something continues

there lived a

child

the child

had

a father
































silence..




















the father

had cursed

a sage..

to be

bitten

by

a snake..
































what nonsense!!

the still

form jumps

to spin

suddenly

around
























what ignorance!

what words!

no true sage

has ever been

cursed!

if you wish

to know

the story

of parikshit

ask me..

i will

enlighten

on it..

but why

speak

even a word

if it

will do

none

a morsel

of benefit??

ears can

hear

the blessed

words



































happiness

floods.....

......

overwhelms

poor heart

again..


....


....


this great one..

this friend

heart whispers

in silence

o Mother

thanks!

for taking away

its pain!
