Journey
"Death is like an inevitable leap into the unknown. But we are sure to land in a state eternal either to be blessed or cursed" By poet
With the suddenness of a locomotive
that has come to an abrupt halt,
he fell motionless and in a coffin lay.
like –
all mystery sealed in a jar.
all agony compressed,
in a tremulous whimper.
all charms shut in an amulet.
amid,
the scent of burning incense,
frozen silence,
heaving hearts
and
silent prayers.
the chariot wheeled him along
in his last journey
through the mazy paths,
stretching, stretching endless
to a world,
beyond all galaxies.
to the Elysian Fields-
to a time, immeasurable
to abiding infinity,
to inconceivable eternity!!
