What Does It Mean To Be Dead?

What Does It Mean To Be Dead?

What does it mean to be dead?

To be silent amidst the talking mouths

To be still while every feet is moving

To be deaf amidst soaring noise around

To be blind while whole world is on display in front!

What does it mean to be dead?

To not to be able to answer amidst all the question raining

To not to feel anything, when emotions are all high around

To not to be able to protest while being taken away

To not to be able to cry, even while burned, buried in the ground!

What does it mean to be dead?

To not to feel that fear, which killed one every day

To not to try to run away, while being chased away by past anymore

To not to feel sadness for the failed expectations

To no to try to hold on to something, that belonged to soul or did not

To let go knowing it all will pass through time

Like sand slips through hand, while being tried to hold on deliberately

When flesh and blood loses its entity, while being washed away by own deeds

And soul flees in silence, to infinity, to eternal peace

At the epilogue a doubt arises in soul

What does it mean to be alive?

Confused, curious, soul wonders

And a search begins, Karma follows, Life continues!
