Poem: DEATH

Abhimanyu Majhi

Most revered of God’s creation
A random cessation
Came before infinite times
Each in unique attire
Merged with solemnness around

Some sulks in vain
Other flutters in pain
Enemies regret in kind words
Strangers lend their shoulders
Flower, tear,  candle and the grave

Wrapped in a piece of nothing
Unfaithful bitch
Meets in uncertain places
Sad end tears apart
Beloved in her prime

Takes away gems than pebbles
Relieves soul from  bones
Over explored realm of poem
Unsolved debate good or evil
Howsoever said, signifies nothing

No time when it was absent
No time it will cease to exist
Impermanence of the eternal
Nakedness an ornament
Flash of enlightenment

From genesis begins
Journey back home
Continuity of the multiverse
Bliss or burden
Enigma for certain
