Realisation Poem by mohanan viswambharan Nair

Dawns arrived in flowery trees
At dusks, strangers become visitors
Life in stability I did scorn.
How arrogant I was since born

How quickly life transformed;
Life whitened and darkened
Upturned life in a blink.
I lost my youth in a wink,

Memories linger, whispers sweet
‘How handsome I was! ', echoes retreat
I am alone in the sick bed now
Nobody turns to me even to view

Life's glory shines but for a minute space
Nobody knows what will happen in the next place
Friends and relatives are mere onlookers in life
We and our shadows remain in our last life

Despite all the negatives, life is beautiful
I don't want to leave my life, though it is scornful.
One should live a full life at his own pace,
Enjoying each moment even its dark face.
