why?

In Picture : Satpal Nayak. Oct 1988 - Sep 2010

why give this form,
oh god,
if this be so fragile, that
a storm may take it away?

why bless with relations,
if they were meant, always
to end;
so painfully?

why give a face so unique,
that when one is gone,
the eyes that longed for it, see
no more of it?

why give pain,
to the parents who knew,
only how to love;
and no more?

why give this form,
if it were to end,
so suddenly;
without even saying goodbye?



PS : To all those souls which have been lost to the cruelty of time and nature and to a person we lost so shockingly. May they all find peace.
