Where's Mummy Gone
The car crashed with death.
The force of fate could not hold the wheels.
Our sky shattered to million pieces hither and thither...........
My wife died.
An ear splitting yowling reverberant sound silenced all.
A blue flash of lightning suddenly disappeared.
A curtain of pain fell upon our window panes,
and stumbling in darkness, we skittered on.
With crunched bones, calloused palms dazed in bloody horror,
our lurched heart rendered a numbing pain...
a pain that could be heard when my two year old asks, "Where's mummy gone?"
She had created our sky, lighted it with love
the moon turned black, blown off by a bomb.
I show my son, a star which is now his mom.

Originally submitted to two contests where it was NA
But it was written with lot of emotions from my side and I expected that many people should be able to relate with the story of some friend or family where a small child is deprived love of a mother lost to cruel hands of destiny, accident or disease
