In front of Death
I opened my eyes and
stared at Death
The lustre of my life in His eyes
“Don’t fear Death when you’ve lived
your life”
Or so had proclaimed the wise
In His eyes played the story of my
life
The colour of my memories bygone
His arms slowly circled around me
Was it my time to move on?
I saw myself- a baby boy
Trying to touch the sky
My heart pumped with a million dreams
The well-spring of inspiration would
never dry
To conquer the world with the vigour
of youth
It was all mad exuberance and energy
And after many a success and failure
It was mind and body in synergy
Thoughts galloped like a mature steed
Action was not far behind
I chipped away at my goals with
passion
As fame and fortune followed in kind
I stared into the eyes of Death
Who spread all the fear he could
conjure
“Share my life for a day I said”
It was my turn to allure
I had lived on the “Cloud Nine” of
success
From which burst the rain of
happiness
The droplets filled the ocean of
contentment
It was a plan of God, executed with
finesse.
I had conducted my life at will
A well-orchestrated symphony
If I were to embrace Death-it would
be like brothers-
And, afterall, a last twist of
Destiny.
