Let Me Die An Unremarkable Death

Let me die an unremarkable death Like those dew drops Which fall silently And wither silently. Let my death be forgotten fast With no song, praise or sorrow. Like those islands in distant ocean Which appear and disappear All alone With no song, praise or sorrow. I am so sick of sound of glory. I long for silence. A peaceful serene silence. I tried yet failed to be serene in life. Death is my last chance To be serene and silent. I must not deny myself that chance. Don't weep, don't sing, don't despair Just burn me fast And rain will do the rest. O God, o beautiful divinity, House me in womb of The great peaceful silence. © Arun Maji
