The Farewell. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The Farewell.



Death, are you an unknown visitor in homes
Where everyone tries to avoid you as a guest
Without a prior notice you comes
Without knocking the door or calling bell
You goes in silence as a customary visitor
The known time and moment in your own will
Where we can only guess on your appearance
In fact it is your own duty that to comply
It is the natural way of life cycle
The birth, life and ultimate farewell from world.

we start dying the moment we are born. The fortunate have time to prepare for it. Thanks for the reminder.-10

Yes, Death comes as an uninvited and often unexpected visitor! Though no one gives him a cordial welcome, surely he would visit us all.... in turn one day or the other! A great poem on Death!
