The Reason...

I was rushing through the emergency ward as i could hear distinct cry of agony, stinking smells of burning flesh and blood spilled all around. The wall of the corridor was stinking of the black and red tinge of dried blood that made it feel like a horrifying graffiti made out of anguish. As i moved around the corner all i could see howling and tear drops flooding the corridor. The mother was sitting still as cold as a stone and the gaze was undisturbed, the look of death in her eyes, and emotions have washed away with her son on her lap. He was still smiling , probably making his path through his dreams into his way to heaven and finally gaining the freedom- the eternal peace. But who will console her mother? She is lying so cold, so dead. Everybody is howling and crying but that could hardly shake her a bit. He is probably thinking off all those memories since her boy came out of her womb, the very memories that made her smile, made her cry, made her feel someone special. But now his absence has snatched all those memories, those feelings and now those emotions are no more. Those tears have no more effect on her- she is struck by the cruel hands of death and misery.
As i stood in the corner watching pain, i was transformed into that flashback, the same feel as that of that poor mother that lied cold in the corner, that howl, that agony as if everything is so mute for a moment, as of i am going through a flashback, an existence in which i was trying to grope for a meaning, to connect to that pain and understand the cry of agony beckoning me from far away. I felt so dizzy, so sick , felt like vomiting and i ran towards the general ward.


I ran and ran and ran and did not stop. Wish i could break this sheer limit of existence and cross the boundaries. Perhaps this life was meant for a suffering to last forever, made up of every drops of tears, those stains of blood, those cry of agony and those look in the face of the mother. Still we search that happiness, that reason to smile, that reason to laugh aloud, feel like flying in the blue open sky.

We live, we laugh, we cry- for a reason.....to survive.
