A friend and I ran along the beach
Savoring the stunning scenery around
Where sea gulls flew and waves splashed
And the entire locale resonated with a silent sound
I had always wished for this experience
A cozy time with myself and no one watching me
I swam, jumped, danced and thought
I realized that I could be what I wanted to be
Headed back home to face human presence
This time the situation was tense
Ailing grandma lay there pale
Coughing, breathing hard & fighting the assail.
She was sick but plenty she talked
Jovial as she was at me she mocked
Years of wisdom were being scattered
Pair of ears was all that mattered
I knew she was unwell but dint realize her pain,
I left next morning; I had to catch a train
Her eyes closed behind me; her voice had seized
I could have made a change but I had restrained!
Not sure if God exists, agnostic I am
But someone around me had something to say
By unfolding these string of events before me,
Life sure has a moral to give away
