Even more, than...even LIFE...

I am sitting here
Looking at the clock
Time ticks by
Do i wana go home?
But what about those
Standing up on 3rd floor
Waiting for their dear one
The dear one inside
With tubes running all over
What about them...?
No track of time,
No track of day,
No track of place,
No track of..... life?
If at all....
They dont know the morning
The beautiful sunrise
They dont know the night
There is no surprise
Time is still ticking
They are still alive
Time is still ticking
How many times can one revive?
They can here us
But cannot speak yet
Their eyes are open
But do they see yet?
What goes on in that mind
Is difficult to say
Or are we missing something
And not seeing it their way?
Those eyes are saying something
The heart is letting it so
But the mind is thinking otherwise
And not letting it go
Lord, please grant me a chance
Help with a second glance
To be able to realize
To be able to actualize
Even more, than i have to offer
Even more, than i have to sacrifice
Even more, than i have to serve
Even more, than.....even LIFE....

this is really good...things one feels, a fear that one wont be able to do as much as one wants to...things beyond one's control..the utter wanting to do "that" something that would...

long time since i had to think about this...thanks..

@angel... if you dont mind could u share about your dad...

@anurag - sometimes when one stops, thinks for a minute or two, one tends to question... :)

umm...thats a valid point...but its like, either you try to ignore it or be concerned, or sometimes be in the "in-between" of concern and ignorance..and thats what hits you the most..easiest thing to do, immerse yourself in work, like an ostrich in the sand...or be perenially troubled...and i get the feeling that i have blabbered on on someone else's property..so i am going to stop..sorry :)

To do something about it is what i feel. Not that its humanly possible to achieve the peak but an effort, a try, a contribution - sure would make some difference... :)

well, not in the same context, although a similar one...when you say "to do something about it", that has a lot of different connotations and means to go about it...just for example, some people engage in social service and some do the money part...but there are even subtler things which I think are very much relevant - provide employment to people, a case in point...its a different context, but does that fall into your definition of "to do something about it"?

P.S. I looked up Google today for the definition of a "pyscho-oncologist" :)
