The Last Ride

When in a coffin young man lay as a whole
and then to satisfy curiosity,i ask
What is body and where is soul?
But to burry him deep is the next task

The last Gathering to see the splendours of dead man
and then again,slowly i ask in the heart
what is fame and where is the name?
Sooner from the eyes he has to depart

The tears and screams will dissolve in the time
and then something last,i have to ask
What is your's and where is mine?
it is the moment that burns the mask

Death indeed has swallowed his pride
How stupendous yet painful is his last ride

Great work . No doubt life is fleeting and we will everything behind. From Him we are and to Him we will return.
