Ripples of Fear
Course down my Cat’s body
Does she foresee my Death ?
Your Death
Could not stop me loving you
Perhaps my Death will
It’s final . Really .
No coming back , even of
a breath. Death .
Death is not
Proud or Humble : It is
Essential
Death , individual
Causes ripples in the sea
Of Life , universal
Inevitable
As Death ; Ephemeral
As Life : Reality
When this Life
Meets Life Eternal : Death ,
Thou shalt Die
( Amita Sarjit Ahluwalia )
Evocative,allusive,and insightful ruminations on death,culminating in the Metaphysical poet Donne’s paradoxical statement.A delightful read.
A metaphysical reflection, with an interesting, ephemeral image of death in the end!
A beautiful philosophical poem on the reality of death.
