Close Encounters (The Hospital)

Waiting in the hospital on Sunday was never so thrilling fun;

A lethargic patient went inside and subsequently was my turn;

Nurses and wardboys, the array of white and red was the trend;

The good part was that the doctor inside was my sweet girlfriend.

Noticeboard had a message which composes sagacity to declare;

If you get a second chance take it, for third ones come very rare;

Weeping elderly man transported in a stretcher to another bed;

He had ulcer problem, but was operated for the injury on his head.

Screams and shouts coming from labor room of a soon-to-be mother;

Doctors debating whether to do a C-section, options there were no other;

Drunken man admitted, removing his contact lenses caused severe pain;

Doctor examined no lens, was trying to rip out his cornea membrane.

Crying in pain, the College student’s bones fractured and condition a wreck;

Proposed to his love after climbing her hostel wall, fell down and broke his neck;

Factual reason of his wretchedness was something else; it’s a different ball game;

Proposal was instead on girl’s hostel warden; load shedding in the area was to blame.

Child Patient was missing; felt like someone had kicked a Structure of Bee Hive;

"Oh god where did this guy vanish, he eloped with someone or finished a quick dive;

Tablets, injections, chaos with the heart flutters and cold sweat on the faces of all;

The child came out smiling out of the bathroom as he had to answer the nature’s call.

At times of misery or events of pain when you don’t know what to say;

A simple touch or an empathy hug in the hospital can make a patient’s day;

Gamut of emotions, one life leaves heavenly abode and another life appears;

Life is like colors of rainbow, faith and hope are discoveries of this sphere.
