Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Imagism

Immortal In Death

I am a transient soul
from beyond the fields of stars, 
Past the domain of darkness
where a sublime quietude reigns,
Onto the cusp of a celestial spectrum
where zenith and nadir meets.

When did I ever
yearn to live an immortal life?
When did I ever
crave for an afterlife?
I am here but window shopping;

I was just passing through--
      To catch a few winks
      Grab a bite to eat
      Down a few gulps of water
      Garner some good deeds,

And then…
Move on!
