Never Shall Meet Again! Poem by MBJ Pancras

Where art thou far from us?
Thou can't be seen in our eyes,
Neither at our ears heard;
Nor in our sense; and ne'er in touch,
Thou art far from us; never can be seen.

Thou crossed five and sixty oceans,
And thou travelled tides and currents,
Sea birds and sea creatures were thy friends,
Song birds of the sky watched thy journey,
Species on earth learnt the feelings of thy heart.

Thou began to cross the sixty and sixth ocean,
Tiny fishes pinched thy feet and palms,
Yet, thou swam with strength and power,
Whales encountered thee,
And sharks with their teeth wide open,
Thy inner power and will thrashed them away.

Alas! Thou wert caught in a whirlpool,
And it was like the Bermuda mystery,
Thou wert consumed deep into it,
Thou disappeared out of the world's eyes,
And thou are no more on earth.

Thou hast not crossed six and sixty oceans,
For thou drowned in the sixty and sixth ocean,
And thou wilt never cross sixty six oceans.

This is the day thou wert born,
And we had been unknown unto thee
When thou wert born ages back.
Now we are here when thou art no more with us.
Yet, we know the truth none liveth on earth ever.

Here are my verses painted for thee on thy day,
Yet, I know thou can't read them;
Thou can't listen to them;
For thou art nowhere near us.
Yet, we can live in thy deeds of care and concern,
Thou live in our memories,
Till we live on earth thou shalt live in our memories.

We will never meet again;
And the days spent with thee never shall come again,
For this is life and all shall pass with no identity.
Let's close my verses, for there's end for everything.
Goodbye!
