At Last Nightingale Fly To Unknown Heaven! Poem by RAMESAN V P

THE NIGHTINGALE OF INDIA
FLAPPED ITS WINGS TO MOVE
TO HER HEAVENLY ABODE
IN RUDE SHOCK WE SAY:
THAT MELLIFLUOUS SONG IS NO MORE!
LATHAJI WAS A LEGEND
OF SEVERAL GENERATIONS
AND CONTNUE TO ENTHRAL
BILLIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD
AND CARRIED EVERYONE ON THE WINGS
OF HER SWEET SOUND AND SONG
SHE WAS A SACRIFICE
AS SHE IGNORED HER LIFE
FEELINGS EMOTIONS AND DREAMS
THAT WAS DEDICATED
TO THE MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY!
TO LIVE IN PEACE AND TRANQUILITY
SHE LEAD HER LIFE FOR OTHERS
BUT NONE COULD FORGET HER SACRIFICE
FOR THE FAMILY TO FLOURISH
UNDER HER WINGS
CARRYING A HEAVY HEART OF CLOUDS
BUT SHE NEVER HAD A TEAR DROP
IN REPENTENCE BUT WAS ATTAINED SATIETY
SHE WAS ALWAYS A SPRING BIRD
BY HER MUSIC IN MELODY
BUT THE VEIL OF DEATH
FINALLY FELL ON HER FACE
TO END HER LEGENDARY LIFE
AND TO PUT AN END ON EARTH
IS UNKNOWN TO THE LIVING
BUTONLY KNOWN TO THE DEAD
WHO MAY NOT RETURN TO US TO TELL
THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SHADOW
THAT HOVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
THAT DID NOT SHOW ITS FACE
EVEN INCARNATIONS AND PROPHETS
WE WITH OUR FOLDED HANDS
CAN SHOWER FLOWERS OF PARTING SORROWS
ICE COLD FEETS IN PRAYER

TO REST HER IN PEACE
EVEN THAT ALSO A MIRAGE!
FROM THE FAMILIER TO UNFAMILIAR
WE WERE DESTINED TO MOVE
WITH TIME WHICH AT LAST
PART FROM US LEAVING TO BE ALONE
AND WE FEEL THE CHILLING COLD
OF DEATH THE ULTIMATE
BUT THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH
OF UTTER FUTILITY OF LIFE
WE SOB ON OF FEAR OF
BEING TAKEN TO THE BLACK HOLE
OF THE END OF UNIVERSE
IS DESTINED TO DIE IN BLACK HOLE
LATHAJI YOU ARE FAMILIAR TO YOUR VOICE
TO THE ENTIRE MANKIND
BUT WITH SWELLING EYES
AND CHOKED VOICE
WE SAY 'ADIEU DIDI, ADIEU!
