THE ULTIMATE BEFORE THE ULTIMATE

Knock knock,
  Whose there?
I'm the ultimate before the ultimate
  and who may I ask is you
I'm that one moment before anything happens.
  Sorry I dint quiet get you
Oh let me explain it all to you.

When a person slips
into the crutches of death
I'm that ultimate struggle
to catch an extra breath.


When the doctor, comes out of the OT
and silently in dismay nods his head
I'm that ultimate feeling of hope
hoping that inside, the near n dear one isn't dead.


When the judge gives his verdict of guilty
and the guilty walks from the courtroom to the car
I'm that ultimate feeling of freedom
that he experiences before he goes behind the bars.


When after all wrong things
something happens to go right
I'm that ultimate feeling of relief
that one gets after such a tremendous fight.


When the lovers end up quarrelling
and it all leads to moments of desperation
I'm that ultimate feeling of togetherness n love
that they feel before the separation.


When you're about to lose someone you love
and that too because of some disease
I'm that ultimate feeling of helplessness
that one feels as they near the ultimate release.


You see I'm the ultimate before the ultimate
I'm that one moment that no one notices
coz I don't come for long.. just a few moments...
n change everything...to good or bad.
now please can I come in
coz in some way right now you're also experiencing
the ultimate before the ultimate.
