Sipra's Diary: Poem :. " DEATH"

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


Death! When did you have your first sting!

 

 Leaving home as I went college-hostel, 


 I often woke up   with whimpering, I remember    

 

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 in 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 !
