“Death may be the greatest of all human blessings” – Socrates.
Throughout my life, I have endured the tide. Often, I move at a badly slow speed. Such wanness, as unworthy of its pride, And every man will foster his own creed Leave weeping when standing near to my tomb, A pharynx deprived of moisture and breath. I'm not there, and I don't sleep in that womb, It hadn't got any air from its wood sheath. I am a thousand tainted winds blowing, It is the light that makes the grain golden, I am the diamond that shines on snowing, I am the soft rain that fell in olden. Shed no tears, my sons, daughters, pals, and wife. A spoonful held the gist of life and edge It's said, death is as much a role of life, All promised love wishes to reach the ledge.

Death is not something to be feared. After death we don't remain in the tomb, but enter eternal life manifesting itself in the elements as wind, drops of rain shining like diamonds, light that brightens surroundings and imparts a golden glean to everything. Lovely thoughts Lasaad ! All the best in the contest !

Your quote spells the essence of your theme. I am a thousand tainted winds blowing, I am the diamond that shines on snowing, It is the light that makes the grain golden---splendid vocabulary, Lasaad.
