Day They Open the Cemetary Gates

Day they open the cemetery gates
On the grounds I shall lie
Upon the sky!! who is that waits?
Is this the day I die?

My nerves frozen, the world over
In a glimpse I'm really gone!!!
Am I dreaming? drunk? or still sober?
Why? wont I be here the next dawn?

It's time I guess for my final vow
Before I'm laid to sleep
Will I be missed? at least or now?
Or have no one to grieve!

My flesh shall rot and bones perish,
My bloody veins shall dry
But no regrets, and no such wish
I ain't got nobody, nobody to cry

A beautiful composition, Sangam. Deep are your thoughts and the notions. Last verse, especially the ending line, makes me feel melancholy. Perhaps it will be the 'Monsoon' who cries and heals others with its tears? Best to you and yours...Mikki
