When I am dead

A poem, written at the moment of me thinking about my death

Pain mounted, as I am about to leave this physical body

The body that was my home until now, will no longer be mine

The body that walked, talked and ate for me on this earth

The body that let me know about the happiness and sorrows

The body that was well known among the world as ‘me’

With several years of time spent together, I saw it grow

I saw it growing from an infant to a stout fatty woman!!!

With the friendship of all these years, I love it very much

Leaving it is of course a pain as it entirely belonged to me

Getting out of this body was painful for me and my body

Soon after I left it, somebody called it as a dead body

I could see someone rushing to the hospital with that body

Doctors worked hard and hard but I never can accept it back

For someone is waiting for me to be united with me forever

The thought about my eternal companion accelerated my pace

On the way, I heard a voice that prevented my heavenly joy

It was the weep of a bleeding heart that cannot live without me

Though my wish was heaven, I returned to my body to console him

By the time I return, they burnt my dead body to make him cry

Then a group of people came to my man to console him

One among them could see the entire world with my eyes

Another one could live with his lover again with my heart

My kidneys and liver also could save two lives each

All of them thanked my man and prayed for my soul

Neither my man needs their thanks nor do I need prayer

Brave if indeed a little somber and of course you are correct, the only certainty in life is death !

A thoughtful meditation !

[Pradeep Nair]

Death.... there is a certain fear arise....
but why.... because... none has ever seen what lays ahead..

And here is a beautiful work.... as if a blueprint of death..
let it not happen .. since we will miss such wonderful works...

Feels like a NDE.
But worth reading it... really.
