Nothingness Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Now all is calm and quiet,
No vibrations any more cross across,
Now all is dead still, frozen,
No currents anymore reach across;
No dreams, daydreams, fantasies,
No wild hopes or fears for future,
No more stir weary souls in us;
No lights guide, no gulfs scare,
No fences on path bother us much;
How long is road concern us least
While all is dark and we must walk,
No goal or light at the end of the tunnel;
We fought hard from dawn to dusk
And lost all battles along the route,
Now shadows lengthen, night falls
And we must walk till the path lasts.

How fresh were those days,
How glorious, those rays
Of hope and bright light
When fought for our right!

Now all is in ruins, shattered, scattered,
Fallen and broken, uncared around,
No tears brim eyes, no grief chokes heart,
Soul is locked to inevitable fate;
Road is barren; surroundings, stale,
No past or future offers any light
And we walk and walk till legs take;
How long to walk without each other,
No more aches in this blind state;
Tired and broken from life long battles,
No pitch to fight for the lost cause again,
Too late and dark to do anything;
Hooded prisoners guided to gallows,
We follow our fate wherever it leads,
No struggles, resistance, no murmurs even,
In silence we walk to nothingness.
