Today my Sweet Heart, Rita Devi's Antyesti, The Last Sacrifice
Would be performed as per Hindu rituals and religious advice
Her body covered with the white cloth will take for the cremation
The Body Temple is protected so far with much care and emotion
That favorite Golden Body burnt down to ashes and gases to fly
And would vanish away and mix up with Air, Water, Fire, Land, and Sky
My Sweet Heart Rita will disappear from me forever and from Earth
God rest her soul in peace in Heaven and liberation from death and rebirth

Life has so many millions of meanings, dear poet. ‘Death' is just one of them. Loved this emotional poem.
