The Missile Man. Poem by Jaishree Nair

The world plunged in darkness,
The sun of universe set;
Never to return with promise of hope;
His aroma of perfumed words
lingering in the heart of millions.

Heartbroken condolences, prayers;
to set his soul in peace
Return if possible-a cry from miillion throats
Perhaps inviting miracles....

Ignited the wings of fire
to the moon he visioned;
Encouraged value education
to build character to future!

Harsh words he detested;
Deeds in action he believed,
Support from family poor in riches
but rich in values varied

Blessed in death peaceful,
amidst his inspirational address to the future
a deed close to his heart
Leaving behind darkness of ignorance!

Humility describes him to the core,
His feet planted in the soil firmly,
Perfect control over every step
Actions and words carefully handled!

His amicable brilliance,
touched human hearts to the soul
The hero of the youth, the God send of thousands!
Sleepless in dreams awakening.....

A pearl discovered from Rameshwaram
A heart untarnished crystal clear
Honesty and simplicity his trade mark,
Heart mirrored the truth of life!

His dream left unfulfilled
Left to set up another world
Never another to take his place,
The whole world weeping the loss
A harmony in tribute unique
