"That unfilled void"

It was a dull afternoon... I was standing right there, while you were laying on the hospital bed. I was numb...staring at your feet. They were swollen. I touched your feet with this desire that they'd show some movement, some signal...that you're here...with me. I couldn't believe the touch of my hands. My sensory organs were failed to process the information. I did not give up, i wanted to be sure. I wanted to feel your presence, your warmth. I leaned forward and kissed your feet...they were cold. You were never cold, Nani Jan.  I couldn't believe that kiss... I couldn't believe that touch. So i remained there, for moments... It was my moment...it was our moment. There was undesirable noise, of ventilator and respiratory equipment...i wanted to hear your voice. In that very moment, i wanted you to call my name. I wanted you to scold me...i wanted you to open your eyes and see...see my face and say, "you're not eating healthy, look at your face ...

"Hope amid chaos"

Days passed by, nights have gone... Another day, Another hope... When will this come to an end? When will we go out? When will we see the light and hear the noise? When will we touch the grass and feel the warmth of the nature? When will this all be over? It's been months  Months that feel like ages... Some days are hopeful while others are dismal... Days passed by, nights have gone...  Another day Another hope...  A hope that this too shall pass... It won't be like this forever. We shall live, We shall breathe... A bright new day awaits us...
