~ Lifeline… ~ 
☆
Rest… hit the bed…
Remain in slumber…
Even if it breaks — keep lying…
*
Through the night…
Or if you awake early…
Do not touch the pen…
These moments — tear the pores,
Disturb the body’s account.
*
The lifeline fragments…
Of loved ones, familiar faces…
The doctor’s instructions —
unceasing, relentless advice…
*
After a few moments of utter silence,
I quietly rise…
Trapped in a cage —
like a soul in the parrot,
Holding, like a mythical being,
its eternal life-force…
*
I lift my pen, the lifeline
And begin to write…
Letters fall — like droplets…
Torn pores start mending…
*
The body reconciles…
Life returns to the flesh…
With open eyes — I witness
a magical rejuvenation,
And my sagging lifeline…
becomes whole again..!
