The Black Hole

It seemed just a few minutes ago,

When life was so full of laughter,

Giggles & smiles – radiating – all around,

What joy, what happiness, what fate,

Oh! How come everything is seeming so perfect!!

Then there came a lull, a silence so depressing,

It drowned all the giggles, the smiles & the laughter,

Life then, seemed, was hanging in the air,

Swaying and teetering on the edge, little hint did it give,

Of the Black Hole, that life was heading into.

The lull now shifted gears, and there arose a storm,

A storm, so violent, it crushed all happiness,

It came, and went, but devastated everything,

Rendering life into nothing more than a Black Hole-

A Black Hole so intense, no light ever again seemed probable…

Sitting in this Black Hole now, I introspect,

Why the lull, and why the storm? Responsibilities??

Yes, but at what cost?

Will there ever be smiles and laughter again?

Will life ever be perfect again?

As the minutes drag ahead now,

The silence becomes all the more intimidating,

Trying to make an attempt to peep out of this hole,

All that is visible however, is a big question mark…

Will fate ever smile back on me again? J
