A Lesson

He 
An ailing man 
Is seen
Like a water-less river

He
A patient
Curiously
Wants to undergo treatment

He 
Has found a doctor 
The doctor has examined him
Like the wind touches the body

He 
Subsequently
Admitted to a hospital
As a part of treatment

Nurses,
Medicines,
Required treatment 
Rescued him

He 
Came home
After the treatment


As thoughts find language
A friend met him
And inquired about
His health

He 
The patient
Has opened up
Like an experience
That is to be explained
And
He tells
A lesson
