Eternal Decision

28.02.06

A drop of water, down it fell
The cement absorbed it, she could tell
Down her face , many more to fall
She couldn't control them all.
Hazy, were her bright, brown eyes
As she shut them and faced the skies.
Her heart skipped a beat when she looked down
With her lips pursed in a melancholic frown.

She pictured them all, one by one
All the times of laughter, joy and fun.
Sadness, fear, and others of the kind.
She saw the memories making marks in her mind
Then her family, and her friends too
All the ones with whom she grew,
But then she pushed her memories aside,
For the call of death, she had to abide.

She raised her leg; climbing on the wall
Sighing slowly before her great fall
She looked intensly at the ground below
As she cursed Him for her being a widow,
For financial dearth, and a mother-in-law
Whose every word whetted like a saw
She swore at Him for her life: A mess
She wailed and mourned out loud in distress

The end was near, she waited her cue
Now, nothing but her destruction she knew
She held her breath and shed the last tear,
Leaned forward to jump, when a voice rung clear
Inside her head, spoke loud her mother,
"Like I love you, can no other"
The girl stepped back, from her task refrained
Sat down, face in hands, soul pained

She wept, and keened and wailed a well dry
She asked her coinscience repeatedly," Why?
Why did I decide to jump off and die
When my mother's lap was there for me to lie?"
She repented her thoughts of suicide
And her intentions of becoming Death's bride.
Then she stood tall, basking in honour
For on the brink of death, life came upon her.

She straightened herself and home she did walk,
Leaving behind a legend, of which none would ever talk.
