Death Of A Day Poem by Prabir Gayen
Death Of A Day
Death of a Day
With buzzing sound the evening falls,
The day with receding song of birds,
Slips into the womb of nothingness,
The drones are flying like busy anguish.
The Sun with melancholy face collapses,
Behind the tinged clouds It wipes its tears,
Trees are like phantoms to mirror all,
Witness the busy and silent glow.
Life is but a chain of light and shade,
The garland of life is idle dream,
The passing day is the song of death,
Poignant pain it gives with the bird's song.
The death of day is darkness with peace,
The mutism with absolute delight,
The sonorous pain gets its relief,
Death is ultimate deliverance.
With the light flickering vertical,
With nightfall it becomes horizontal,
Death is a horizontal flame: Still,
With New light of being it righteous.
The way of life is zigzag drossy,
Life is a horizontal journey,
On the way It waves to touch the Sky,
The sudden clash of thunder does smite.
Nature is a big Mirror image,
It is True yet it is very much False,
Joy of life is ephemeral; false,
Death is Truth with pain unbearable.
The day died with painful trance and dream,
The valley plain and hills become proof,
Witnessing mad dance of drongos, bees,
Life is painful does seem like death sings.

Poignant and intense, but sometimes I wish he would use the word Night instead of Death. Very involved with Death. Perhaps exchange it for night in some of the lines to be less scary and depressing,
" Nature is a big Mirror image, It is True yet it is very much False, Joy of life is ephemeral; false, Death is Truth with pain unbearable" 100000000000000+++++++++
A very beautiful philosophical poem on the shortness of life and its journey towards death.Each stanza gives an indication that death is the final destination of all. Liked it. 'Life is but a chain of light and shade, The garland of life is idle dream, The passing day is the song of death, Poignant pain it gives with the bird's song.'... is so nice. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant piece of poetry about life and death. I agree with Jennifer Birch....Until the morning brings new life! 10
" The day died with painful trance and dream, The valley plain and hills become proof, Witnessing mad dance of drongos, bees, Life is painful does seem like death sings" Nice poem and nice picture..Love you and your poetry very very very much😊..My Master..😍
