FAR ACROSS THE DISTANCE..!

FAR ACROSS THE DISTANCE..!

 

Err… Seen at the farthest distance,

In the unfathomable part of brain,

And in the remotest part of imagination;

I fancy my eternal ecstatic dwelling.

 

The galaxy of stars has been awfully put off; and

The shimmering satellites have faded off to eternal darkness!

Nor can millions of Suns light up my world,

As they have lost their everlasting glow.

 

Has the Universe lost its undisputed richness?

Is there any way to redeem its glory?  For

The ever losing signs and the ever fading lights

Aren’t good enough to light up this earthly life!

 

Oh!  I just wanna leave; leave this place of transit,

To put an end to this ephemeral life of uncertainty!

I wanna see the summit of this pausing phase, and be

In my eternal home, where there is everlasting life!

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The poet longs to experience an everlasting life as this worldly life seems to be ephemeral.
