~Shrisha Tuladhar~
What if everything came to an end?
Would the birds stop singing?
Or the roads go silent?
What if there would be nothing left?
Would the mind stop fretting?
Or the heart stops worrying?
What if everybody would be gone?
Would the tears dry up in the eyes?
Or would there be no one to care for?
For out in this world I see calmness
I see the staring eyes of the sky
Looking down to the earth
As if it was to fall on it
I hear the growling of ocean
Sounding as though it was splash in times
I see the sky turning gray
As though it was to wet the fields
I see the crumpled trees
As though it was to decay and start a new
And now that I see
God has become gracious to eternity
He has dropped some body on land
And with that he dropped the spirit of living
And the dawn of new beginning.
