Days seems to be short enough,
for my words to grave on this slate,
still I ink my quill everyday
to cherish my grey days.
I hear the silence of midnights,
and by dawn the mellow whispers of cuckoo.
Every night I thread to reach HIS voice
in vain, still I am enthralled by HIS divinity.
Only wish now I have,
before my chariot moves towards destiny,
Sit by runnel and have a glimpse of sunrise,
which my partisan minds had long conceived.
I can see the cold breeze running over peaks
and touching my gratifed soul tepidly,
I see the sceptres moving around,and
I entomb my last words deep within.
