I woke up one morning
bright and sunny
Completed my chores
and sat thinking and wishing,
when death will com,
How death will come
I believe it never comes
but ppl say it does
I always think how would it be to die
Some say spirits never die,
some even preserve bodies
I always keep asking ppl
Can u tell me about your experience when u die?
Can u come back and repeat how was it to be dead?
But no reply
Just a faint smile on their faces
Treating me as a child
Never, ever thinking about my question again…
I woke up one morning
bright and sunny
And what I see is
I am in a new place
everybody is staring at me,
I smiled, they did the same
I am a baby,
a newly born baby trying to enjoy the wonders
of the new place
I live up a new life,
with new surroundings,
But I don’t remember anything
what was before this?
How I am here?
These questions strike again
I find myself asking ppl
How death comes
I believe it never comes
But ppl say it does
I am curious about deaths in this world
Where do ppl go after death??
Ha! I have undergone death,
I have changed lives
I have come in a new world
But still I am wandering,
asking questions,
How it actually does…
Death never comes,
was my wrong belief
It comes,
It does come,
but as silently as a dream been broken
and what we remember is nothing…
We have experienced death
It comes every day
but that is different when we say
that a day or a night in which we have dreamt
is as long as one whole LIFE.
Death has come, gone and will come again,
without a noise…
And we will again be in a new world
Born as a baby,
shy and small…
The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live……
The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and the other begins?
Then i remember a gazal of jagjit singh… i would love to quote here for you !!
Jeevan Kyaa Hai Chalataa Phirataa Ek Khilonaa Hai
Do Aankhon Mein Ek Se Hansanaa Ek Se Ronaa Hai
Jo Jii Chaahe Vo Mil Jaaye Kab Aisaa Hotaa Hai
Har Jiivan Jiivan Jiine Kaa Samajhautaa Hai
Ab Tak Jo Hotaa Aayaa Hai Vo Hii Honaa Hai
Raat Andherii Bhor Suhaanii Yahii Zamaanaa Hai
Har Chaadar Me.n Dukh Kaa Taanaa Sukha Kaa Baanaa Hai
Aatii Saans Ko Paanaa Jaatii Saans Ko Khonaa Hai
Pretty good.
Though I think that the last 3 lines in d 2nd para do noh match vid d rest of d para. Think abt it.
“We have experienced death
It comes every day”
Wat meanin do ya intend vid dis??
as u said, d last lines r vry neat
Keep bloggin!
Nice poem.
I remember u sung this one in the english class.
This one too carries the quality of simplicity. Great!
I don’t have much understanding of death….but still to me it’s more of a new beggining rather than an end.
And indeed:
“I am curious about deaths in this world
Where do ppl go after death??”
Death comes once n yet we take birth many number of times in a single life just to realise those unfulfilled dreams that the moon makes you think of…
