By Father's bedside...hospital musings!
Silence broken by a hushed converse Breaking news of comma's reverse
Alien aura of tubes and stands Silent heave swollen glands
Muffled giggle kids gleam Gramps tries a silent beam
Hardly suit, infirm and sick Elegant floor, ceramic slick
Fallen off a dizzying sledge Ill at ease in a plastered leg
Distant bout of rasping cough Chastised attendant off in a huff
Purple bruises of attempted drips Stand out sharply from shiny clips
Divergent forms with baggy attires Crouched nurse maneuvering wires
His quivering lips and shaking hands How surreally fight the restraining band
Some blood be drawn for the endocrines Whispered whoosh of support machines
A starched prong on the matron's head Declining spinster, should have wed
Original saadat tahir (Islamabad) (June 24, 2009)
Centre justified the lines assume the shape of a flower vase"¦ "¦.signifying hope!
