A Reminder Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

A Reminder

Rating: 5.0


Dear heart, how naïve are you,
How ignorant, how foolish!
You shake in a little crisis;
Hidden inside you
Are such fear, such forebodings!

Don't you know what awaits you
At the end of the journey?
Death, patiently waiting.
All crises pale,
Before that final crisis!

You will be leaving all you hold dear,
All those who hold you dear,
And plunge into the unknown
Holding death's hand!
Be strong, be bold, be brave!
