A random day I thought ,

A cool breezy Saturday at school,

Arose to enjoy the rays of the sun ,

Unbeknownst there was a tragedy that awaits.

2nd day of the 2nd month a life was lost 

More souls shattered,a life taken 

The earth drank blood like it were water from a spring

Like it meant nothing to it,

indifferent to the aftermath,the pain left behind

She deserved to live ,but life was sapped out of her

Yes,my mother died like it meant nothing ,

An accident! ,they said,an accident!!!

Was the reason behind that tragic incident

I promise she was cautious ,but it still happened 

Taken to the hospital but it couldn't be mended

The doctors couldn't save her

Professionalism couldn't change the mishap that befell 

A skull injury that couldn't reversed,she slipped out of earth just like that 

She was a good woman ,she deserved a chance

But death didn't bother to give a second glance 

This wound is deeper than an ocean ,sorrow swept me like waves of the ocean sweeps a ship without an anchor 

The ache is alive and breathing ,soothing words wouldn't calm the ache ,at that juncture there was no medicine for my soul

I recall how hard it was to breathe ,oxygen felt poisonous ,my mind was distorted ,the scream couldn't take away the lump of despair from my throat.

Tears flowed like a river hot lava running down my cheeks ,it couldn't bring her back

My emotions erupted because it was hard to ingest the pain .

I lamented "Why do bad things happen to good people like her ,she had a heart of gold, a spirit of an angel but death laid it claws on her like an eagle on its prey."

 Till date I baffle on the fact that she died with a smile on her face.
