What does it
mean to be dead?
To be silent
amidst the talking mouths
To be still
while every feet is moving
To be deaf
amidst soaring noise around
To be blind
while whole world is on display in front!
What does it
mean to be dead?
To not to be
able to answer amidst all the question raining
To not to
feel anything, when emotions are all high around
To not to be
able to protest while being taken away
To not to be
able to cry, even while burned, buried in the ground!
What does it
mean to be dead?
To not to
feel that fear, which killed one every day
To not to
try to run away, while being chased away by past anymore
To not to
feel sadness for the failed expectations
To no to try
to hold on to something, that belonged to soul or did not
To let go
knowing it all will pass through time
Like sand
slips through hand, while being tried to hold on deliberately
When flesh
and blood loses its entity, while being washed away by own deeds
And soul
flees in silence, to infinity, to eternal peace
At the
epilogue a doubt arises in soul
What does it
mean to be alive?
Confused,
curious, soul wonders
And a search
begins, Karma follows, Life continues!
