Oh, Death !

 This poem was written while in REC, probably in 5th Sem or 6th, when I was 19 or 20. A friend's friend passed away in a drowning accident, and this poem was penned seeing the grief of my friend. 

-----------------------------

The inexplicable phenomenon, 

Or is it just an illusion? 

What is real in this world? What is ultimate? 

Life and all the beauty with it

Life and all the love in it

Is it to be lost away, with all its splendour, 

Where is it going, without a trace !

What you called life yesterday

Started from nothing

And what you called death today

Is it the end, leaving nothing? 

Life in a being, it comes from nowhere

Is it from nowhere, or is it from somewhere? 

If it is from somewhere, then when life leaves its frail body abandoned, 

Does it go to the same somewhere? 

Is it a cruel paradox, or is it sweet, That

when you came to this world, you cried, everybody smiled, 

And now when you're gone, 

You smile, and every heart cries !

The life that was here among us, 

'Twas so charming, so it will not perish

It will find a sweeter place, sing a sweeter song, 

And I pray that one day I'll find you again, 

Yes, One day, I will find you again, 

Coz you're there, I am still loving you !
