RescuedA Story by Jyoti_Ablazetrapped, suicidal, melancholy & coming out of it..Silence surrounding me, is deafening, Every word has a little less meaning Now, when it comes out a little too late, Is it al-right, to give up to fate?
Was it just fate that I fell of the cuff? Or my own deeds were the leash, in my ruffs. Is it just me or the world has stopped, And time and again my days are robbed?
I feel the body but not the soul, Is it out somewhere or not at all? Will I always wait here at the shore, Or someday sail away in a voyage to soar?
I had once dreamt, of riding a saddled horse On the meadow, taking me wherever it wants, Or to fly above the clouds like a bird of Jove, To glide inadvertently and sail through the cove
Just when the despair was about to consume me I felt something shifting and my world tilting I turned around to fill it in my sight And saw the bright shimmering, white light
It took sometime, for my eyes to adjust, Air whispering to me of peace and just Low hums of divinity filling all my senses Holding me in the trance of warmth and benevolence
My soul and body felt revived and alive, The divine figure bestowed me with her kind vibe. Happiness filled me, to finally meet the Almighty. But the arrival may mean to return to my vanity.
She held her hand out, for me to take It was the time; I had a decision to make. Both the choices seemed equally enigmatic Anything I’ll choose would result big.
Taking death, getting rid of worldly strife Would mean to disrespect, God’s gift of life But embracing life would mean the same Change in the game would just be for name.
At that moment, the only thing I sought Was a piece of advice, more than a nought I looked expectantly at the divine figure, Those beaming eyes made a helping gesture.
She took my hands and clasped between hers Then beckoned me to close my eyes in a whisper, With complete trust I did, as she said I saw something in the blankness spread.
Slowly the shapes and colors came forth I recognized my parents, walking towards north. They reached our backyard and halted there, Appeared emptied of emotion, nothing to share
I noticed the void hanging in their eyes, The heavy air looked gloomy and vice. Alone my parents walked towards a grave, Then fell to their knees as if to crave.
I wanted to reach out and console them, Tears ran down my eyes, heart went to them. I peered at the tombstone and choked abruptly, Because the name on the grave was mine only
I spang opened my eyes, I can’t bear anymore It is too much to take in, I wanted to roar. With misty eyes I looked at the almighty, Her eyes bore into mine with rationality.
She saved me from making a big mistake, Which I would have regretted for life’s sake Now, I profoundly knew what I had to do: Choose life with a purpose and start anew.
Without delay, I thanked the Almighty there And ran away straight, to my house somewhere. I ran as fast as my legs would take, So many reversals were there to make.
By now, the bells had started to chime, My heart drumming and singing the hymn It felt like an eternity has passed When I met and hugged my parents at last.
As soon as I saw them, I closed my eyes, To thank the Almighty for all our lives: Tears swept my cheeks and spilled down My heart filled up with enduring sound.
Slowly when I, opened my eyes to look, I found myself on the bed, at the nook With my soul afresh and blood racing, I embraced my life as Almighty’s Blessing! © 2016 Jyoti_AblazeAuthor's Note
