ശബരി.എച്ച്.എസ്. പള്ളിക്കുറുപ്പ്/അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം/A SILENT VOICE

A SILENT VOICE It was march; the blooming of thoughts and she came, sat quite near me told that I had changed, suerly thought I, not a child anymore and whatmore ,my shrivelled skin, gifted by the scorching sun, dummy eyes covered by a foggy mist of grief, splitted hair,dry lips not so flat anymore waist; not so feathery fingers; I was a friend,a daughter ,a dreamer, but no more; now a mother, a believer. She nodded , not quite near… a sower, a reaper, a giver; but what did you earn? Not quite different anymore! What! Oh what ?Not different? I told; I toil and moil from the break of dawn till the night stars peep… Ok! I said; I wore my old glasses, the neon sandals,the high bottom jeans , the silly tube top… And she nodded, not quite near… The glossy nail polish, the mascara, a ribbon:- scarlet red, sunny smile, not near, not near… I coloured my hair pink; my lips were rosy red, I could smell myself as chocolate, And then I realised… Slowly, unwillingly,she was turning me into something unfair… I never thought to be this idiot… She turned me to myself! But who was she anyways? A silent whispering voice, nothing more or less… nothing true or best. I looked back, it was noon, they will come, my life’s boons, the kitchen dishes, the laundry soap, the broom, the bucket, the dry mop:- waiting for me; a book, a pen a brush, some paint:- they all slept in a lullaby, a sound sleep for years like me. I washed the myself out of me into nowhere… Just a starry void of fantacy Tears of heavens sorrow. But her, her voice still inside me, whispering a murmur of joy and grief. The curtains covered, the walls around me the curtains of a smile, the walls of pride… But who was I kidding? Who was she anyways? A silent voice whispering within me nothing more or less.
