Life And Death Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

Life and death are two needs
For one who truly perceives.
Life teaches lessons sublime
Through experiences of presence of divine
In natural gifts, to mankind.
Death relieves from tiredness of life
And makes soul incarnate, like a bud of rose,
Pouring incense of beauty and innocence,
Pleasing all through walking and lisping,
Which is the best period out of strife.

Let me praise death - the dearest
To meet life after knowing all mystery.
