The Reflection of Death of a Family Member

Some Words from My Tears

SAIKAT KUMAR DUTTA
(Dear Readers, this poem is written on the basis of my feelings of grief due to the death of my father, who recently passed away on 01.01.2008)

When a life, closes forever its blood circulation and eye,
It is not easy to stop others endless weeping and cry.

When a heart, stops its beatings for always and as a whole,
It forgets how much important was its rhythm and role.

When a mind stops its thinking, blessing and loving totally,
Who will welcome its family members so cordially ?

When a sense becomes completely switched off like a mobile phone,
It steals all fragrance of joy, keeping us speechless and alone.

When a soul, leaves its body forever, and forever,
It can touch its dears and nears never and never.

When a man, leaves the earth and walks forward to the heaven,
Why he has no way to come back here further again ?

    My father died a month later than yours -- after a very long life and a precipitous drop in qualify of life in his 95th year. Although I was frustrated having to shout for him to hear anything, it is still strange to me not to be able to call and talk to him any more.
