Something Struck

Something struck Tuesday, December 19,2017 7: 26 AM I was alarmed But was not harmed I found the shadow That was growing larger Why should it happen in an illusory way? Why was I losing identity in this way? Did I think about bad omen? Was it sending me a signal about going to heaven? I just shivered And angered me too But I thought it wise Not to entertain any idea to surprise Some old quotes puzzled me too My mind was shaken by religious belief "Whoever has come on earth" He has to leave this world after death I struggled to keep calm Even though there was no apparent harm It reminded me of futility of human being I consoled self and tried to bring calmness
