Death Means

Death means, leaving your loved ones, but floating like clouds in their sky, falling like rain, flowing like a silent river through the forest in their heart. Death means, leaving this earth but lying on its ground. Death means, leaving our one life and maybe finding another. Death means, after all those sweet reminiscences, one day oneself living among the memories. Death means, after a lifetime of eloquence, now silence. And the death of a poet means, he left his poems and went away, but remains eternally in his poems in such a way, like Rabindranath walking, with his hands clasped behind. (05.10.2022)
