FORBIDDEN LIFE

As the night creeps in
And silence befalls...
The faces seem to fade
Amidst the darkened walls....

But Men must come and Men must go,
As the night creeps in and silence befalls.

The meaning of death has finally struck me and am suddenly not able to find the strength to accept the existence of that.
DEATH ...!! How can a person who had been breathing life, talking walking, smiling,... a person in real flesh & blood be reduced to ashes. Living people... finally ending up in ashes. That’s what death is.!!

Biologically, the heart stops functioning, but for us... it’s the end of a life, and with it dies its hopes, wishes, dreams, its burdens, struggles and also happiness of so many other people.

And yet how easily we forget death...! May be not ‘forget’ but sooner or later we all get used to the sorrow of death – the fact that our dear & loved one is not with us... will never be with us anymore.

That’s what rebels in me tonight ... How can I permit my loved ones body to be burnt in ashes... Never to see him/ her again... never to hear that voice, that laughter... ad whom do I go to when I need help, when I need that particular person.

Will I find a substitute for this too...???
It’s a question for every body... How can we allow death?? Why don’t we have control over it ...?

And yet every life moves towards the sole destination... Death! The only permissible love of life is death...!

So I let the night creep in
And silence to befall...
I let the faces fade
Amidst the darkened walls....

And I cry and I cry...
Till the tears dry.
Until the night creeps into the silent walls.
