Welcome Death

the fear of death is greater than death itself...

withered leaves, t'was so plush,

stripped canopies, once merry mush,

the light of life, very faint,

everything gone, only darkness remains.

the tilted hourglass, empty now,

time to take your final vow,

a last, shaky, wheezy breath,

extinguished by the hands of death.

the ever victorious conqueror awaits,

none have bettered, none can evade

but, my dear, never fight,

just surrender, it'll be all right.

flood yourself with memories,

the beauty of life, you will see

close your eyes and you'll believe

death is the start of another eve.

burnt to ashes, your body may rot,

but the thought of you will definitely not

your spirit, your soul will always remain

never forgotten nor in vain

welcome death, tis not the end

only the beginning, my merry friend,

let it come when it must

go and get back your life's lost lust!

Well, that was possibly the most upbeat thing I ever read...
On an even HAPPIER note, this poem is wonderful and truly showcases your skill. Great work.

Thanks friend for telling me so. I like the second last stanza of ur poem, '

'burnt to ashes, your body may rot,
but the thought of you will definitely not
your spirit, your soul will always remain
never forgotten nor in vain '

I find it a pleasant thought to be able to live on in the thoughts of others, I wish this would happen to me for good! Amen.

This is amazing Surya! Death is an ultimate end of sorts. To the physical entity. but life the person continues in others. Death, moreover, is never hard just the concept of it is. I think this is one of your best works :)

I loved this! It has so much meaning and power.
Death is definitely gonna visit us, sooner or later. We can only live till the time our destiny wants. No more no less.
I loved the way you tell that its the start to a new eve. Its not the end. Rather than worrying about dying we should enjoy life to its fullest :)
Another great writing by you :)

[Surya pradha]

glad you agree with my poem. thanks for the praise!

Death is the great leveler -- it comes to us all in our time. And, I believe it is only another beginning -- "the start of another eve." But, we must live the life of now to the fullest, with love and gratitude.

[Surya pradha]

glad you see my perspective. thanks for reading!
