Death!

In response to V.J’s weekly challenge #55 : Reclaim

Life’s reverie, jolted by the distinct knock,

unprepared for the final destination,

the mind afraid to fathom the moment,

the body pleads to reclaim life from death,

looking back, at the journey traversed,

seemingly obscured behind a shroud of

delusional mirage of success,

realization dawns,

as the soul knows,

it’s time for the final curtains to be drawn,

before the mortal spirit merges with earth!

  1. between the mortal spirit and the immortal soul, what do we choose to listen to? somehow it sounds wrong even as a question..but Radhika has all the answers 🙂

      1. great reply and given that statement, answering a question is usually a commitment, making a choice that we can never be sure of, not in one lifetime.
