LIFE TAKES A SUDDEN TURN
Life is flowing normally
I exercise meditate eat sleep daily
Am in touch with family and friends
Enjoying time each day as it comes.
One morning I get chest pain
With no prior intimation
I panic and go to the hospital
Doctor says my heart is in trouble.
In emergency I undergo an operation
I spend days in ICU ward in isolation
Doctor says 'Not to worry
You are now fine as I see'.
I am now incarcerated at home
No going or eating out for sometime
I am on medication with simple living
My family is constantly monitoring.
My life has taken a sudden turn
All my beliefs faith down the drain
Only destiny plays it's part dutifully
Whatever one does religiously.
Bhagavad Gita says it all vehemently
Do activity don't expect results really
We just treat it as a sermon for olden times
We realise it's reality when we face it in our lives.
There's a silver lining to this act of god
Whatever happens is only for good
A bad event will eventually prove right
There's no need to lose hope outright.
