Transition <br />- - - - - - - - <br />Through fair and <br />Through cloudy weather <br />We have been together <br />When I look forth at you <br />Many things I remember <br />Childhood's happy days <br />And youth's cherished days <br />Of innocence and truth <br />Seem well spent and over <br />Sipping sweets and sours of life <br />Have reached we at the edge of age <br />When grief and strife <br />Bliss and paradise, all seem trifling <br />But life is too short <br />For such regretting <br />Oh! life I know not when to part <br />But not in mournful regret <br />That we should have to part <br />As life is divine and earnest <br />In fact we don't die <br />Our body dies <br />Through illness <br />And through old age <br />Goes the body weak and frail <br />And the person is seen <br />Parting company with his organs vital <br />Like a mango or a fig fruit <br />Separating itself from its stalk <br />Only to be seen hastening back again <br />As he came <br />To the place from which he started <br />To a new life...<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transition-41/
