A Little Respite Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I heaved a sigh of relief
I had strong sense of belief
I was true to conscience and very brief
Pain and agony has to be borne by self

It is know fact and not be denied
You should not lament when expectations are bellied
You may feel a pinch of salt
When you receive something despite not being at fault

It may give little sense of being hurt
It is how you feel when reply received is curt
Such things are not digested easily and silently tease
It may erupt often in mind and do not cease

Some of the behavior is accepted as usual
It is termed as normal very casual
Some type of altercation is expected as outburst
It is one kind of extension of rage as thrust

It is game plan also engineered by hostile friends
They have felt it as insult and want to make no amends
You will be cornered unceremoniously and targeted
You will be hooted and dishonor is feted

You may be restless and never regain original posture
It will unseat you all the times until some one tries to reassure
You will be compelled to think of steps on revengeful lines
All your good qualities may be pushed to side lines

You may try very hard to push it away
Still more difficulties may be on your way
The area of disagreement may get wide
You may be little hesitant to confide

Under such condition you are likely to loose sight
You may not be able decide what is wrong or right
You may be startled and do not feel the coolness of night
There is so much wrangling in mind and internal fight




If you are brave enough to come out of such stage
It will be considered as an appropriate step with age
No one resorts to violence or hostile steps as precaution
Everything must move in orderly way and in slow motion

It wills end you shock waves even at odd hours
You may be puzzled to hear knock at doors
It will be nothing but hidden fear and insecurity
You are engulfed by forceful eventuality

Cool mind may some times come to your rescue
It may estimate and emphasizes on what is not due
It may give you option to come out of crisis
There may be concerted effort and reasonable emphasis

*Action taken in haste may dampen the chance*
