Eulogy

EULOGY --MERAKI I lie here, content No, not endorsing a life of zest Or days of melancholy I lie here at ease, For now there's respite And I no more need to maneuver The graceless rinks of maturity I've had my share of happiness And equal blows of fate Pits and heaps, Tides and Ebb At times assailant, at times bait. In short, I was a butterfly, Only with a twisted life cycle. In triumph, I fluttered (butterfly), In troubles, I idled (larva). Adversity was never my complain But I prefer it self-inflicted. Coz I'm OK to reap what I sow The brunt of another doer? not accepted! Have you ever thought of it this way? There's freedom in that too. Strange as it may sound, it's quite true. So don't come to my grave To find a lifting eulogy. My deeds are in my psyche alone I seek no approval, no apology So come to my tomb, make your own conclusion That's my parting gift to you :) Judge me all you want, I'll make no intrusion. You see, there's freedom in that too!
