DEPARTURE <br /> <br />It could be a cold wintry morn, <br />Or some corner of a dark moonless night, <br />When my soul will take flight, <br />Leaving a frail carcass behind! <br />And the heart, which had known <br />love, hatred, lust, and greed; <br />Felt forgiveness, sacrifice and compassion, <br />Shall once more turn bright red, <br />And burn in the crackling fire of the <br />pyre; - <br />As I sore towards the million stars…. <br />Which are God’s graves in the depth <br />of the skies; <br />Leaving behind my shadowy mark, <br />In my poems, verses and lines! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 23 Jun 07.<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/departure-33/
