A Transcendental Truth Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

A Transcendental Truth

Rating: 5.0


Days ago, eminent personality
Echoed mirthful voice
Resounding physique
And a prominent figure

Suddenly, there lies he
Flat, silent and unmoved
Mourners all around
Telling a tale, words untold

At the end, a pyre in flames ‘n fumes
claims all he possessed
Hours later, goes in a clay pot
What ‘s left of borrowed from nature

It is best if we are prepared for death. We all have to die one day. Still so many people have an immense fear for it. Good and thought provoking poem
