Back To The Fold Here Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Back to the fold
Monday,22nd July 2019

look back
what have you packed?
for the journey of heaven
did you look at it even?

you are fortunate enough
not to pass on rough road
but got an easy breath
at the time of the death

you heard no one's advise
and falsely promised
but I am here to give you peaceful burial
as befitting farewell to soul

are you not lucky?
that you have blessings from an almighty
who has taken every care!
to take you back elsewhere

many dead bodies float in the pond
there is no one to give a second look
the dogs and vultures eat your body
but you are now under the care of an almighty

You had emerged from the clay
now you are taken away
with no disrespect
you are back to fold, in fact

Hasmukh Mehta
