Messiah Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Messiah

Rating: 5.0


Quarantined in a hospital!
Sad and lonely,
so much so,
that,
sadness became sadder than him!

Every day she came to him,
someone,
with a mask on her face,
and gloves on her hands,
completely hidden in a white protective kit
he could never see her face,
just a sweet relieving voice,
like that of Florence Nightingale,
happy to listen to her!
so much so,
that happiness became happier than him.

The parting day,
he has been cured,
before leaving the hospital,
he wanted to know,
who she was,
and where she is?
"She was a nurse,
she herself was infected,
and now she is in her grave! "
He was sad to know it,
so much so,
that his happiness was changed in sadness,
forever, forever and forever!

I feel the happiness and sadness depicted in this poem. So beautifully crafted and clearly conveyed. A timely write that we can all relate to. So deeply poignant and moving. We pray for the safety of all frontliners, the heroes in these times of uncertainty. Onto my Poem List.

SAD it is no doubt but in the form of ALLAH came she give him her life can't that you see Her voice will for ever ring in the patients ears no fears till death there will be tears in his eyes So be wise INSHAH ALLAH comes in another's garb Remember he exists somewhere in the universe he exchanged his life with hers he has taken her in his own arms and hears now daily her charming voice
