A beautiful poem reflecting sad thoughts. Deserves 10/10! A friend of mine passed away about two years ago. I still visit his Facebook page and read/write comments, knowing fully well that he is no more. Your depiction of the after death scenario is picture perfect! Got a lump in my throat and had to stop several times before reaching the end. 'Tonight out of some uncertain fear I’m signing out of all the Tabs! ! ! ' Says a lot, but may the fear be unfounded!
Beautiful poem Shahzia. Death is unavoidable. Meaningful write again from your pen. I am just wondering when you will be signing in?
a very realistic elaboration of a situation after death. Very true, but before it occurs, many things, many more writings are still remaining for others to read & enjoy......
(Informally Reviewed) Well written.Enjoyed the whole plot and Scheme. A Beautiful piece of poetry, written magnificently and sublimely with flowing thoughts of inspiration and imagination.
dear shazia Api! really this poem is full of truth meaning of life. we should pardon for our sins to God before it the time slips away. thanks for reminding us about death because now in this materialistic world we have fully forgotten that we have to DIE...
Dear Shahzia, someday it will happen to all. But now our mission on earth is not complete yet. We have many more poems to write and many is in need of help. You are a lovely person and a great writer.
Dear Shahzia, Thought provoking and feel concerned. Yes death is powerful, The Most powerful, pleased this is not reason. You have expressed these words well. Thank you for all of your support. Your students are very fortunate to have you
intensity of feeling of heart with full images of life sense yours makes words alive and supper quality of art/from top to toe you are master of your art
Meaningful write, truly expressive of the real world and interaction we have with the environment!
Shahzia, it is not yet time to sign out! When one broods over one's parting from the world, it is an indication that she/he is going to have long years ahead! Nevertheless a wonderful write! I can imagine the shock of everyone to see you lying in state... especially your sister's... (not serious! !)
Very few has the boldness to speak of or talk about one's own demise...... It is never a pleasurable event to jot on henceforth many wouldn't do so. Unlike you have the courage to foresee the inevitable truth!
i was reminded of Aswath Raman's writes reading this poem of yours.............u have written it v beautifully no doubt, yes, work will be done with teary eyes, with occasional cries, the cries getting louder wen someone arrives..........you have presented the facts in a very lucid way. stay signed in in PH please, as we need your support and guidance too.
I shall be unable to care for my backlog, as I daily do To complete my half-done write Death is inevitable truth. Let there be nothing left undone at the end. Only way to ensure it is to keep up to date every day, every moment. Close the tabs. It is difficult to do. Maybe God has to wait if something is left undone. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
I truly loved this very much, with the deeply emotion diving with the words...i can see things you write here as i was seen it before..i feel deeply attached to this write, dont know how...but well i should remind us..when there is a time we sign in but there will be a time we will sign out...loved this shahzia_Soul
We born, we die. I could of die many times in my life, but God kept me here to go through many, I mean many problems, you probably heard, wars, revolution, dead bodies abound, starvation, poverty, bombings, divorces, troubles and troubles, but I could not chicken out of life, there was a reason to stay alive. Now I found true happiness within myself but if the time comes I do not wish others be sad for me. And I do not care who says what, possibly they forget you in no time, or some will be happy that you are not here anymore. So, cheer up Shahzia, face life, deal with it, find happiness within yourself, be happy for the sunrise, the birds chirpings and every little thing around you, love others, do not hate anybody, be kind and then your world will change. I do not ask people to read my poems, only those will find them anyway who are ready for more wisdom for their going forward in life.
Death is a reality as big as life and a subject dealt by many great masters. ''Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.'' ''Dar'st thou die? The sense of death is most in apprehension; And the poor beetle that we tread upon, In corporal sufferance feels a pang as great As when a giant dies.'' (Shakespeare) Hence pangs of death are felt by every living creature. You have depicted the scene after death very realistically what we've been observing throughout our life. Each line is profound and thoughtful. Ah! 'signing out of all the tabs'.......because we don't want to share our solitude even after death. It's a thought-provoking write, dear pal. (I often think who will tell my internet friends that I'm no more in the world now) I wish you a long, happy life.
this is something we all must go through. it will happen. good write.
Death is inevitable.It must come.But if despondency engulfs us, we will die many times before our death.Death wish is a feature we find in many English poemsThe weariness, the fever and the fret, we have to live with these, dear poetess.Who knows the world may end tonight! Your write is always magnetic.This one is no exception.
When I shall cease to breathe the vital air The news will spread like a wild fire...What an amazing expression really. this amazes mind....10
