LET ME SLIP AWAY

Let me slip away silently into all forms of glory

On this earth before being claimed by Death’s fury;

Be a fading ripple in the breast of a river

In an early tryst with splendorous Nature ;

A  soft vanishing glow in the forehead of the sky

That into darkness of a scented evening doth slowly die ;

A  withering smile on the face of my love’s sunflower

That reveals the beauty of young lovers’ desire ;

The last murmur of a tune in my Love’s mellow soul

Who loved to muse lines of my songs in an easy roll ;

A glistening drop of tear on the cheeks of a lush leaf

That so softly carries in its heart night’s terrible grief ;

An moment of bliss in a devotee’s meditative prayer

A beat of  wild Damru of Lord Shiva in dance’s fire .
