Morose

............


 I received a phone call

from a close friend

Living in my city

He's around my age

Suffering from cancer

since few years

He said he remembers

the old days & friends

Expressed desire to see me

I very much wish to go

But I just can't bear

to see him in the wasted cage

I'd better keep him in my mind

As the happy and cheerful man

I wish he would recover

But from his shaky voice

I knew this was not to be

PP friends please pray for

his complete recovery


PS : Yesterday (Monday 18Nov) I visited him & spent two hours at his bedside.






Author's Notes/Comments: 

Nothing cheerful is coming to my mind right now

No Longer You

 

Remembered, the limbs

strong, the voice steady,

transcending as if time

was a waster and a causer

of decline. 

.

Recall is strong and wants

to remain touchable

as a memory, as a strong

boned, nimble human.

God is knitting again.

If it's truly a close friend,

If it's truly a close friend, try to find the courage.  A visit from an old friend could be the best medicine for the soul.  nice writing
