The cry, an outburst of my emotions


Took a slow bottomless breath,

a consciously relaxed inhalation,

with folded hands thanked God,

obliged for being alive in his creation

Granted with enough immunity,

in corona tsunami, stood stable

survived d' horrible pandemic,

d' air around turning breathable

Can't imagine, it's so satisfying,

no smoke, no dust, cool and pure

find no apt words to praise God,

took a deep breath once more

He got better in the Hospital,

asked to pay for the ventilator

he cried, wailed, refused to pay,

"don't cry over d' bill", told d' doctor

"For a super-senior man of 93 yrs,

an upsetting scene, not decent

to waive it off, I will recommend,

to d' Italian Republic Government"

Outside d' Hospital, he could see,

utterly a different world exists

is it a new planet discovered,

added to d' existing ones' list

Impossible to ascertain it now,

yet he looked around to confirm

surprised to see d' deserted roads,

silent streets, no honking of a horn

No mikes pronouncing azan loud,

so much peace in His creation

with folded hands, he prayed God

in pure air took a deep inhalation

They saved him, did a great job,

he is back to be better environed

clearwater, clean sky, fresh air,

to achieve things, no restless run

Sun is bright, the birds chirping,

fearlessly roaming all d' creatures

bees hum over blooming flowers,

all native beauty back in d' nature
Things look perfect, so romantic,

jovial moments for family members

scope to chitchat, dine, tell jokes,

make fun and spend time together

Folded d' knees gently on d' earth,

thanked God again in his prayer

and inhaled as deep as he could,

d' lung full of neat, God-given air

Valued the doctors' efforts a lot,

risking own life for patient care

got suffocated, fought for breath,

taken care of in time, he admired

D' world seems safe, birds take a dip,

in Reno's crystal clear rippling water

the rivers cleaned themselves now,

once d' human activities are over
Planes cause no noise pollution,

now halted d' takeoffs and landings

ships dispose of no debris in seas,

no issues for aquatic lives' thriving

People washing hands, body parts,

food habits changed, got ample rest

now no crazy run in a hectic pace,

no more strifes to make breathless

God has granted so much clean air,

again he took a sustained breath

tried to recall some praising words,

for d' Almighty to pray till his death

"Breathed God's air for a long span,

almost ten decades paid not a pie

can not assess, how much do I owe

d' supply to be carried on till I die


Ventilator charges 5000 € per day

can pay it, I'm no bankrupt person

could never even thank Him once,

d' cry, an outburst of my emotions"
