Death
On my final day,
I hope death asks me to exit with no remorse.
I desire I die after thoroughly figuring out how life works.
I hope death asks me to retire with no wish to be fulfilled.
I hope I face death with no grudges and only after being healed.
I never begged for a long life,
Anyhow the last time death reached me to take me out of this life
I asked my inevitable friend, “DEATH” to give me a while.
I always had a wish to meet death as an intruder,
Perhaps the day I gasp for my last BREATH,
Will be a reunion with my old friend “DEATH”.
I hope death meets me in my safe place
So that even though I leave with a teary eye, I have a smile on my face.
I hope this time death comes to me after finishing off its agreement with life,
I expect death to encounter me like a robber but with anesthesia and not with a knife.
I hope death hit upon me when life already made me laugh several times.
I hope death greets me after completing all my poetry and rhymes.
I hope death confronts me after experiencing every essence of life,
The essence of;
Celebration and Sorrow,
Getting satisfied and feeling disappointed.
Sensing pain and pleasure.
Being honored and facing humiliation.
I hope death asks me to pass away exclusively;
After standing conclusive with the theme of continuity vs change.
After behaving sanely with people who behave derange.
After showing gentleness despite suffering violence.
After relating to talkatives and understanding those who are in silence.
After treating altruistically to even those who practice selfishness.
After being a lady of great benevolence even to people of miserliness.
After doing most diligently and the least shoddily.
After often making decisions rationally and seldom illogically.
After finding a balance between enlightenment and ignorance.
After having peace of certainty without getting bothered by emotional ambivalence
After showing the courage to surrender and resist.
After relishing friendships with atheistic, agnostic, and pantheist
After my death,
I pray I find all my loved ones whom I never met but have lost.
Regardless of one wish, I pray the most;
‘Death never hits me in the dawn of being loved by someone and loving my loved one.
