Whispers of Strength

-By Sarah Khan

Somewhere up shit's creek in a barbed wire canoe,

looking up at the sky with appealing eyes

Her breaths got faster

And every breath

Held an immortal learning of the mortal life


As she bows to her unanswered prayers,

Like a fish out of water,

Her soul shuddered

Of all the scars holding her intact

With the fear of death

A holy path of all living creatures


In the memories of the bygone past,

The moments of her pride

Hit her hard

With regrets of unfulfilled promises

Those unsaid words were shouting

Into her soul

'Time flies like a wink'

She confessed.


Beating the cancer with an ample of hopes

Her struggle was on the run

Whispering the meaning of life 

Of whose presence made her braver

No pain can take its claim on her divine spirit

You don't sign to luck and know

Not she.


That cigar and drug and glass of wine

To pick up, consume and promote

No more

A healthy routine prevents obesity

But a fast food freak was she

The pain been concealed before

Was now awaring others about early diagnosis


With the falling hairs in chemotherapy

The shooting stars mumbled

'Falling can be pretty'

Realised she.


Never did her acts haunt her but once

Her hand rested on mine

That feeling of togetherness

Is never again.
