Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Death Is But a Slumber

The autumn sun has risen
but yet to attain high noon-
Make hay, my Rose fair.
I would not be happy to see you
decaying with the hasting day.
I have short time as you
Going too quickly to decay.
I would not look at the clock
and I would not my heart lock.
If death is a certainty in life
it is love’s labor’s lost to strive.
Then why should one but a death fear
As I understand death is but a slumber.
It is just sleep in eternity to rise
It is the very death that dies. 
I am ready to go as predestined
Oh,Lord, untie the strings to my life.
If today is last day, tomorrow too late
I would say good bye to yesterday.

Ravindra K Kapoor September 17, 2014 at 1:52 PM You are quite right Dr. Ram 'Death is but a slumber'. Still this very topic opens lot many other serious questions and answers of which there is no End. Everyone tries to find an answer to this eternal question. Quite a serious but beautiful write Dr. Ram and thank you for your kind comments on my Kashmir Poem. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra K Kapoor
