Passing Away

Pratikshya

Shimmering lights


Will fade up soon,

 




This brightness shall not

Be there, in the noon.



I won’t be there

To see the morn.



You enjoy the days

The stars, the moon and the sun.



I’ll come back sure, just

After a brief sojourn.



Parting is difficult

Don’t say goodbye…



Hold my hands

I’m not going that far away.



Don’t bade me farewell

With so tearful eyes.



Let it be a happy one

Smile! Stop those cries.







I’ll be leaving behind

All bonds, relations, all ties.



Thousands of emotions shall be left unexpressed

Thousands of words, unspoken…..



Works undone, moments inexperienced

As life fades and hopes shrunken.



As life’s cradle heads to the grave

And the beating heart retards..



Senses get numb, vision starts blurring out,

I ponder over life and the unspoken words.



I can’t bear the poignancy of parting and separation

The tearing sorrow and unbearable pain.



I don’t want to grieve more,

Lie here and ask when….?



Memories crop up, as moments slip by

Into the lap of eternity.



I stand on the fringes now

Tomorrow, I won’t be anymore, an entity.

    Interesting look at dying...right? There are so many little "deaths" in so many things now, and yet the final parting is so deadly...in a sense, as your concluding couplet, we will cease to be, but only for this world, therefore God's salvation is so desperately necessary.
