Sipra's Diary: Poem . "DEATH". [#Poetry Prompt from the PROJECT]

 

   #Poetry Prompt from PROJECT:

  How much are you affected by death of near   and dear ones. 

  

 

Death! When did you have your first sting!

 

I remember  you as I went college-hostel, 

leaving home . I often woke up   with whimpering  

 

At midnight by some nightmare that  Dad  left me

 

For ever. ..For a long time I couldn’t imagine 

 

To live without having  parent..........

 

When I was in my thirty’s my father left 

 

Forever his own ancestor’s home .

 

My cousin brother took me direct 

 

To the burning Ghat  where  he laid,

 

With calm and cool peaceful face 

 

 Released from all mundane liabilities ! 

 

I touched for the last his icy-cold feet 

 

Without a single drop of  tear.

 

Since then I overcome fear of death.

 

I realized the fear of death is more 

 

Painful than actual   occurrence  of death.

I hear with grief from last three years, 

 

Loosing  some more near and dear ones.

But tolerance, patience made me  courageous!
