Twilight of life


In the twilight of my life, I saw a fluttering light

Heaved a sigh of hope, it enthralled my sight

There was a stranger passer-by

She stood with me near-by

Held my hands with a solacing touch,

It was a moment filled with delight,

Fairies of heaven were witness to it

She stood by me and held me with a grit

She was an angel sent by the god

To take me from the clutches of scheol

She took me afar to a land of pleasance

Where ecstasy was the reason to fete and dance

Now eternity was the only boon I wished,

My thoughts wandered in heaven and earth-

with an unrealized wish, without worth

I lost my paradise, before I realised

Mortal I was, then I agnised

Such is the plight of a man with desires,

He never revels that moment and it flies.
