Death



“Death”

As I walked to the “Erebus”
I was following “Oneiros”
I saw her lurking in the dark shadows,
Her eyes were burning, they had a strange fire,
Her face was glowing with light of desires,
She walked with a grace and had divine attire,
Fluttering her wings, she came near me,
I asked Who are you, oh! Seraph Divine?
I am the soul`s helm, I deliver it to divine realm,
I am truth and Absolute I am,
I don’t destroy nor am I cruel,
Oh mortal! Death, I am, one of those who are great...
So come closer and hold this divine hand,
As it is the time, with me! you shall rise,
And in the mortal world,
 you! Shall never again open your eye……

By: Mubashair Naseer.
