When one is sick,
life is seen in a different light:
When one is sick,
everything goes slow motion ...
That is when life is viewed
so slowly, and clearly,
that every little detail is savoured,
to its last flavour ...
for never has nescafe tasted so sweetly,
nor a walk amidst the dew drops so heavenly -
as when one has to lie weakly on the couch,
and watch the world go by, with great reproach
hear the peals of laughter in the distance -
and feel so helplessly lonely with remorse ...
Scenes like these keep on playing in the mind when one is sick and not able to be there...
ReplyDeletea walk along the beach, finding a purple shell... a walk in the park/garden, resting by the lake/pond is heaven to someone who has to lie in bed...
So, i thank Thee, God, for keeping me safe and healthy, and for my ability to step into my shoes and go for a long walk... or take the car keys and go for a ride...
And thank Thee, too, for the lovely songs that came to my ears... and the lovely sights that met my eyes...
And i also thank Thee - for all the beautiful people who crossed my path, and more so, for all those who stay close, in my heart...
