Lone in Death

The time is near. 

The heavens want me

Faces are getting clearer sharper

Forgotten one, blurred from past

I want to bid goodbye

I try to tell them, then 

On a fragrant path I get a drift

Forget to tell anyday could be my last

I am home, still I want to home

A strong urge to rest, sleep

My attachment is disappearing

Like the receding waves bursting foam

They are unaware, planning for next year

building a house for me 

Under the trees, among the praying birds

Soon the earth would be my home

My love is here, but my heart is there now

I want to give in to this strange draw

It time I tell them, I start and then 

All I say is a dream. They did not get it

I want to stay and I want to go

I tell them, but it makes no sense

Words drift on angels breathe

The veil of unknown is yet to lift

My friends, long gone, say it is okay

Pain of leaving them behind

Unknown, unwarned, Perplexed

Is disappearing. I can only see me

I have always thought of them

Now I am drifting. The more I think

Of them, the more I see and feel me

Unlocking, discovering with death as key

The parting is momentary my friends say

The time is still. I will meet them soon

Their voices, faces getting sharper

Getting blur are faces of those dear

I could only give them my blessing, smiles

The pain is all gone, staring at bliss, at them

Can't tell them. I have to go, heavens want me

The moments are counted, my time is here.
