Life For A Day! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Life For A Day!
Deepest words embraced her heart.
Coldest dews tickled her eyes.
Bathed in fresh morning fragrance.
Sun rays blessed her for a day.
Evening seemed to be bit bitter.
For night seemed to be bit longer.
Night may vanish slowly but firmly.
'Is there another day to rise? ', she whispered
Maybe all the prayers she requires.
Perhaps the brightest soul
May have to depart just once.
Leaving all the flavors of life.
Leaving all the memories of life.
Let the tides settle her life further.
Unsure of boat may reach ashore!

Touching hearts of the readers, a great poem on life and death. What I think if you believe in a life after death, you'll get it but if you don't believe in a life after death, you'll not get it. Imagine the peace at the time of death one enjoys that he will get another life and imagine the pain of one who believes that he is going to be finished for ever.
It is a beautiful poem on life and death having intensive write. Thanks for sharing....10
