Death....the concept of death has always fascinated me.I can't help but to involve death in one way or the other in my writings.Maybe cos till date it is the most complex maze or maybe it is the most honest act in one's life and evokes the deepest and the truest emotions in others .
My first true encounter with death could be explained in just one word "ICY". Yes ,I had been to funerals, I had seen the dead before, but when for this first time when i was posted in intensive care unit(I.C.U.) as an intern ;a patient passed away on my watch.Transformation from a person to a body, that too in just a few minutes.......i felt chill to my spine. Here are my four lines to DEATH...
DEATH
"How sneakest thou with swiftest strife,
With Garguantan weight fingers of ice
And suck the warmth out of a mortal one
Leaving a shell ,wails and cries".
