When My Voice Stops! Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

When my voice stops for ever
There will be no tumults of words ever.
The stars will still twinkle and rivers will still die.

When my voice stops I shall dive into your oblivion
And in another costume someone will impersonate me.
The hymns will still be heard and the fresh idols will surface.

When my voice stops a lone sheep may bleat
As it stands near the tender leaves aplenty.
I think it may bleat for a while and cease to do so thenceforth.

When my voice stops those who loved me once for a while
May shed a few drops of tears innocent
And I may turn on my tomb for a sigh!
