Slowly, slowly I was going deep, <br />Hearing some flick sound of beep, <br />May be doctor around checking the pulses, <br />Not enduring pain and trying to repulse, <br /> <br />Nose blocked with pipes and tapped, <br />Hand also tied with needle and capped, <br />All sort of medicines mustered in vanes, <br />Horrible sound of ventilator with open panes, <br /> <br />Slowly hearing some known voice, <br />Without hearing aid I had no choice, <br />Trying to pick what was going on, <br />Some was telling feed with spoon, <br /> <br />Such was state when I was on bed, <br />Life support system with artificial fed, <br />I thought of, may be, nearing end, <br />All preparations for ears to lend, <br /> <br />I tried murmur but simply failed, <br />Whole body tied as if jailed, <br />Life boat sinking with deep sink, <br />Eyes were closing without any wink, <br /> <br />All youth and child scenes simply emerged, <br />Wished all could happen without being caged, <br />No ill feeling whatsoever in mind, <br />Mind at rest with all feelings kind, <br /> <br />I wished it could happen in peaceful way, <br />Destined by God and we have no say, <br />It may happen and bound to take place, <br />Mortal may remain without any replace, <br /> <br />It is all painful and can’t be explained, <br />Deep sinking but memories remained, <br />Relatives gripped with worries and tense, <br />End should be peaceful without loosing sense, <br /> <br />Body may not cope up with all ordeals, <br />Stopping of food and without any meals, <br />Wishes can’t be expressed even if admire, <br />Merely going down without desire<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-could-hear/
