Final Goodbye

-
Its the eternal verity,
The ultimate truth;
All others are just,
Hoodwinks to amuse.

It greets us all,
But only once;
When, as guest of honour,
Our name is pronounced.

When and how,
It decides to pay a visit,
Is beyond all measures,
Of predictability.

Some face it with a smile,
Some run away for a while;
One welcomes or not,
It thrashes all doors and comes inside.

Face to face with it,
I wonder how one feels;
That moment of truth,
What a peril it seems.

The wishes, the memories,
The guilt, the remorses,
The anger, the envy,
All evaporate in a jiffy.

Life bids a final goodbye,
As death engulfs its prey.

I knew it had to come, Was just there on the rung. Then why these feelings, These emotions of sadness, Was it under-preparedness, Or enough is never enough? Teary-eyed, with a heavy heart, Bidding goodbye is not an easy task. An amazing journey it has been, Sharing our ways through thick and thin. Landed there alone, But going back with wonderful ties. Can't thank you enough, Each one of you has been so nice. We might be far away by miles, But distances can't change our ties; Will stay connected in hearts and minds. Thank you all for the lovely time, Shine and prosper, And keep up the smiles. Goodbye is not the end, Till we meet again - Sayonara!

Beauty of Night

An endless blue sky, Like the vast expanse Of life; A patch of clouds Scattered far and wide; When the noises Ignored in the Maddening rush of the day, Touch our ears Soft and clear; When the moonlight Appears so pure and pristine, Soothes the burns, And calms down the turmoil; When it shares a hope Always Of the rising sun; And fades away gradually, Kissing goodbye with humility, Promising a comeback, Ushering in the daylight; That's the beauty Of the night.
