You came silently in the dark with a lone lamp <br />While united we watch the stars in the sky <br />Beaming back and forth in the world’s eye <br />Like a mirror reflecting a mirror <br /> <br />These shadows which live on a watery surface <br />Are memories of that same light which fills the night sky <br />The same wind stirs the silence of trees as crickets chirp <br />Here and there where comrade lived on yonder shore <br /> <br />While silhouettes fade as the world sleeps in the darkness of time <br />A boatman waits to take you and me across the stream of death <br />To the other bank of life where the garb is shed <br /> You and the self will fade on that yonder shore <br /> <br />Let these words take birth in the world of verse <br />As poets and men keeping reading them on yonder shore <br />Never again will we be strangers there <br />In that world in the womb of a dead world.<br /><br />Abhay Vignesh Liginlal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/worlds-word-death-at-childbirth/
