Recognized, Lately!

Yet unfelt, 

Yet undisclosed, 

Yet undiscovered!

The unrecuperated loss, 

The devastated tragedy, 

The uncontrollable catastrophe! 

The deeds done, 

The ceremonies performed, 

The rites held! 

Yet unfelt, 

Yet undisclosed, 

Yet undiscovered! 

The shock pervades, 

The emptiness resides,

The helplessness felt! 

Yet unaware and unknown! 

Later... 

The pangs came-

Now trembling hands, 

Now agonizing soul, 

Now the felt darkness! 

For...

The loss came on a dime,

With no warnings and admonitions,

Only rage and humiliation. 

The sullied heart got one more pore, 

One more hollow yet not completely deserted space,

One more trench yet not completely barren landscape! 

Now after a leap-

The horror came, 

The pangs felt, 

The tears came! 

The discovery made, 

The experience felt, 

The responsibility recognized! 

But... 

Now the support needed, 

That support missed, 

Now the encouragement needed, 

That encouragement missed! 

Yet unfelt, Felt! 

Yet undisclosed, Disclosed! 

Yet undiscovered, Discovered!
