Poem "REALISATION OF A COVID PATIENT" from the Book "MOODS N MUSINGS" by Bharat P. Bedi.
REALISATION OF COVID PATIENT
I
realised the
worth
of a breath, when
with
weakening strength,
losing
breath, energy
fast
draining out my life
I was lead to an ambulance;
I
realised the value
of
loving family,
as
my wife tried
to
put in me some life,
feeding
me courage,
with
encouraging words,
reminding
me
my
will to fight,
while
fending her
despair,
hiding fear,
fighting tears;
I
realised the power
of
created fear,
from
ambulance
I
was whisked, to
eerie
alien world
called
isolation ward,
I
was spooked, zoombies
from
outer space,
fully
covered in white,
surrounded
me,
shock
was greater, than
the trauma of my virus;
I
realised that
the
real sufferers
are
our dear ones,
my
son instantly grew
from
child to a man,
with
support of his spouse,
boldly
shouldered onus
of helming my care;
I
realised,
severity
of my virus
is
nothing in front of
my
wife's sufferings,
quarantined,
enduring
loneliness,
social stigma,
mental
stress, fighting fears,
fending
imaginary demons,
able
but helpless, ostracized,
caged
in the flat,
family
all around
but nobody to help;
I
realised that
humanity
is still alive,
seeing
hospital staff,
risking
own life,
dedicatedly
devoted,
suffocating
n struggling,
trapped
in PPE suit,
suffering
a lot,
still
nursing us
back
to health,
with
not a hint
of rue & strife;
I
realised, by God`s grace,
how
lucky I am,
surrounded
by precious gems,
finding
time, in today's time,
for
wishing, praying
fervently,
for my well being,
my
speedy recovery;
I
realised that patient
is
not the only sufferer,
trauma
is spread wide across,
affecting
loved ones,
family friends well wishers;
I
hope & pray,
this
bond of love,
should
always grow,
strengthening
ties, giving
more
meaning to life.
