The Final Curtain !

This has been moulded at the demise

of my maternal aunt, whose final adieu 

 from this world ached me much.

The final curtain lowers for Adieu!

Gloom appears and glory departs.

Concludes Aunt, her roles in plays

on the stage shows- the scenes of life.

 

In the final farewell ends her role,

leaving dismay to minds that attend.

Leaves the venue, the actor’s soul

letting her mortal, set to shrivel.

 

Ache, the hearts of loved ones much,   

lessening gloom is a task so hard,

as gaps and cracks, creates the exit,

and will be mended, but not now. 

 

The Adieu adds hurts in hearts

and sad sounds of mourning in throats.

Demise ruins the family- jollity 

and leaves the bereaved in silence.

 

A knife in skilful hand is death,

and that hand is of fate destined,

to stab the ones who fall for sure

in Yama’s* pre-planned list of hunts.

 

 

Yama*- the god of demise in Hindu mythology.
