TILL THEY FADE AWAY <br /> <br />Unfortunate it is not to know one of their own <br />Only to regret after they are long gone <br />Remembering them only in spirit that gets windblown <br />Trying to keep their memory fresh as dew on the lawn <br /> <br /> Till it fades away in the warmth of the sun <br /> Like the colors on the life’s canvas that run <br /> Into the heart of time before they are forgotten <br /> Leaving behind only traces of figment of sentiments of emotions <br /> <br />Lucky are those who have their windows of heart open <br />To catch the glimpse of every ones love and affection <br />Before they travel beyond to become silver lining in the horizon <br />To keep on shining like stars in our vision <br /> <br /> Till they fade away into the world of unknown <br /> While the legacy may be grown or cut down <br /> All in the depths of hearts of silver and golden <br /> Leaving behind only the inscription written on the tombstone<br /><br />Mittur Ramprasad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/till-they-fade-away/
