Death

My fading self 
Surrenders 
To my worst fear.
 My wasted body,
 Cold like a lifeless stone
 In the starless night.


 My heart's beating
 Has started to stop.
 My eyes have closed
 To see a new horizon.
 The blood in my iced veins
 Has taken its last trip!


 A force so unspeakable
 Sucks me out of my numbed body;
 In total surrender I yield.
 Like a dove, I soar
 Into the vast still damp air
 To go on a journey
 Beyond the clouds!

I steadily rise
 Towards beckoning stars.
 Smoothly I slip out of existence.
 A gazillion spirits wait to take me.
 Their muffled voices
 Calling me by name!

 I leave mundane pains behind
 Like a blind bat
 Vacating a wrecked ship
 As I glide into
 Eternal abyss!

 A new dimension beckons.
 A new day has come
 I must glide out of me
 To go on a journey
 Beyond the clouds!
