My Second Chance

My second chance

        I well know this is my
           Second chance with ephemeral life
        It's so pricey I would have never known
                Until.....I witnessed fear sailing in her deep brown eyes
         Saplings of death already down
                                As my time seemed done
               I packed baggage to start my last sojourn
           With  love and memories linens
                         Every hour passing in flick of moments
            Quickly as my grip on life's rope loosened
                  The subtle mind's strength was rapidly weakening
                       Candle of breaths dwindling in turbulent storms 
                                Crimson life's sun fading below gray clouds of eternal sleep

On wings of stress her each seconds solace had a quick escape
             As I kept sinking deep in unconscious abyss deep
                     In drowsiness life's kaleidoscope rewinded it's tangled drapes
                          Falling from her eyes her teardrops chased each other
                                Her sunken eyes socket devoid of sleep
                                     Narrated the entire story after fortnight
                                        That I got in my senses
                                               Warm embrace of my Mother
                                                   My second chance with life I saw 
                                                          In her twinkling damp eyes
