A few lines that I penned (typed) out in the couple of minutes after hearing about the loss of a loved one .Helped with the mourning process
An ode to my thatha
An ode to my thatha
The heart stops, The blood gets stagnant The body starts to get cold I watch it all confused for that body was I
Relatives come check the pulse of the now dead me Sorrow and cries frantic calls to doctors and family I watch from my chair confused and flustered For it has not sunk in
The body cage is finally cremated I have no body to return to Now I know I have clinically died
Was that really me? Who am I Oh Lord for I have lost my identity
A Divine light shines engulfing me and my surrounds I hear the cosmos within me and around me A set of Golden stairs in front beckon I bless my family for its my time to go In a second my whole life flashes in my mind Oh what a glorious life I have had
I start to climb the stairs I climb and climb and climb For 3 days and 3 nights I climb There is no tiredness no fatigue I am growing younger I am now the lad I once knew at 18 Full of joy and life
I come to the end of my journey I see all my loved ones People whom I seem to have known for an eterntiy I merge with my divine family I am now part of them and they are part of me Joy permeates me
