When Death Came Knocking
When Death Came Knocking


In the wee hours of the morning
Came the death knocking
This is a notice for twenty and four hours
Then will begin the journey for both of us.
I had waited for you this long
Look forward to the next destination where I belong
As usual, began the day with a leisurely jog
Waived and smiled as passers-by mile after mile
Sky with a little blue and the peeping sun
Golden hues light and bright and I enjoyed the last of my run.
Bloomers and guffaws as usual in the press
For a change, it didn't create any stress
Sensex up or down didn't matter
For it was the last day in the life of theatre.
For lunch, we chose the barbeque nation
Tomorrow I will travel to an unknown destination
Siesta followed by the usual cup of tea
The time was precisely three for tea.
Words buzzed and gushed in the mind

It was a walk in the clouds I took
Only found cheer where ever I looked
Then it was time for the last supper
With salads, soup, and bread it was super
Then I bade goodnight to the family
With a song on my lips happily
Came the knock in the wee hours of the morning
Opened the door to find a courier delivering
The message from the death read
"I find you are living a life full of zest
For you, it was just a test
Continue to live your life the fullest
Here are my wishes all the best."
Then I realized that if I could live
The rest of my life
The way I lived yesterday
And die by the end of the day
With a song on the lips
Then death becomes a non- event
Just another passing moment.
