We Begin Only To End Comments

Such a stark realization we do all reach at some point in our lives, Amitava. Knowing that death is to be our fate in the future, is a sad and eerie thought to be thinking while we are living. Still, we are only mere mortals doing our best to survive in this temporary world. Doing random acts of kindness to others while living. A great poem, Amitava! ! Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn

Very thoughtful, well-written poem on the mortality of human being, which very few acknowledge while alive. In this context, there is a story in Mahabharata where Judhisthira (who never lied in life) said in response to a question regarding the strangest thing in this world in his personal experience: While living people see others dyeing, and hear about many people's death, yet never believe themselves though that they will die someday. Congratulation Amitava!

So true and beautifully expressed in such a creative way!
