Death Poem by C. P. Sharma

Death

Rating: 5.0


Hail to thee! O harbinger of new life,
You tide over all stress and strife.

Why do people defame you?
I know, your name is so true.

Why are you associated with blues?
Why do they have your horrific views?

You bring all the freshness in life,
Better half, you are my real wife.

You get me rid of all my stink,
Once again you paint me pink. .

With the cosmic power you link,
My illusions disappear in a wink.

All the dead wood is shed off,
New twigs and leaves up crop.

You daily smile with fresh flowers,
As if you are fresh after the shower.

I become a child once again,
Grand child takes away my pain.

I shall once again be a child,
Then I shall have new profile.

Once again I shall be free from guile,
Again, I shall have my innocent style.

“Life is but a sleep and forgetting”*
You take us to life’s real setting.

* Wordsworth

sharing of your culture and it's perception so like my belief....though some roads may be different they all intersect...there should be no fear of death but the promise of new life.....and should one day one reach his or her Nirvana, , , , even life has it's beauty and serenity...

Life and death aren't two seperate entitities and yet why yearn for it while being alive, there is certainly a reason for us to be on this side of the existence. A strong theme, well written. Scared? No sir, not at all, the only thing that can scare one to death is the prospect of coming back to this insane world once again. :)

birth is the first step towards death. we are reborn everday. sleep is like death. Sir, you have so brilliantly brought across the idea of nothing dies, it just changes form. Mamta
