Heavenly Abode

Departures and partings are painful

They pile up droplets of tears in the eyes

When the voice of the heart weeps

It inflicts unimaginable agony.

Death isn't just a goodbye

It's an indirect welcome

To the heaven-bound skies

A wake-up call for man's soul

To rise above eternity.

Life is short to measure

But hard to comprehend

Living it to the fullest

Is still a distant dream.

For life is in continuous motion

And introspection, a rusted thought

Hopes are plenty

But none to spare

When death knocks at the door

I open myself to it........
