Engulfed in Darkness
Like a cactus which feeds on minimal quantity of water, Life has become a dark affair which i hope to extend no further. Soaring ten feets above the ground, the cactus collects its own drop, which allows cactus to drag its life for another year. My life has now become similar to that crop, The void formed in my heart is too much to bear. left in darkness to feed on few crumbs of food, and warmth that I get by burning of wood. I feel the pain of million of cactus prickling, when someone mention that the sun is shining. Then why at my place is the fire burning? Yes, I cannot see and now have to spend my life in dark, but has my mind also gone numb and cannot feel the sun's warmth? Suddenly, I hear the sound of prayer and toll of bell. The sounds must be coming from the nearby temple. I think I have heard it before and i know that voice I have heard it zillion of times. But there was a turmoil in my mind as how can the voice be of the same kind Things are meant to be different for me....
