  Life is dead shell
Rotten and spreading bad smell
Who will take that?

Flickering lantern of winter night
Put out in the dark
Even then remorse wakes up!

Always lifeless
But stone is still valuable
Alive over ages!

Life is glittering rain particle
Gradually driven
At last into soil!


(Grateful to poet C. T. Heart, my friend)

Food for thought:
To which pastures
Does Ashraful turn upon
To feed his thoughts!
Lovely & deeply significant poem,
Whose thoughts
Are inversly propotionate
To its size!

Reminds me of Nissim Ezekiel's 'Beauty'.
In your bones the marrow may stir as you see realities of Life.... or when you read Ashraful Musaddeq's 'Life'. But, that it how it is.
The concluding lines are really good.
Great poem.
