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.
