Do Not Fear Me Poem by Janaki Nilmini

Do Not Fear Me

Rating: 5.0


Do not fear me, I am with you when you say good night
I will guide you, as I do now it's the end of the day
So, be calm. Gently walk through the fading light

Wrinkled skin and kyphosis, paralyze men with fright
when they see me hovering around, they start to pray
Do not fear me, I am with you,when you say good night

The end is dignity, do not struggle with all your might
Do what's good, cleanse your mind; all the religions say
So, be calm. Gentlywalk through the fading light

I have seen you in great many races, this is not a fight
Cameras clicked and trophies held, you had your own way
Do it again, I am with you when you say good night

Life is short, endless duties, time is always tight
You lived a life of a genius, thats what people say
So, be calm. Gently walk through the fading light

As you wished, the carriage with shire horses isn't white
Your fame is written onmillions of petals, on your way
Do not fear now when it's time to say good night
So be calm. Gently walk through the fading light
