An Elegy Written In a Road

It was a weekend and I was in a mood To reach my home as early as I can I urged the wheels to start a friendly race With the competing cars rushing around. The sky getting dark, is it unusual? I switched on the lights to make the way clear Sun already hiding, behind the trees Unable to bear the horrendous scene. The leaves were silent and the mighty wind The waves of ocean also stupefied The nature remained as stunned and low Heavy and gloomy, sadness in the air. The beams of light while tearing the darkness Suddenly found out two eyes so bright From a small head that holding so high From a small body already half-dead. Her eyes were staring straight to my eyes Calm and serene in their last minute Piercing my heart with their emotions Pity and sorrow and dismay and grief. I turn the wheel to avoid the hitting Risking my life and car to another track But behind me, the vehicle of death The one which she was longing so long. Oh! Dear soul, I couldn’t forget The bright little eyes that searched for pity Like a brave soldier of a defeated army Holding your head as high as you can. I imagined the short life that you spent In this splendid world of cruelty, As a cute kitten dancing around And following the little butterflies. Full of fur, your body was so white And a long tail, waging in anger You chased down the tricky doves in vain And the little sparrows that fly around. Vibrant and vigil, your life was so full Until your clock stopped ticking I couldn’t sleep, the eyes are haunting Close your eyes dear one, I’m lamenting.
