THANATOPHOBIA???

 

When level of love overcomes,

The level of fear, see the outcome,

The far, wide world shrinks so  small,

When you don’t stuck up behind a wall.

Why  suffer from thanatophobia?

Suffering our own mental myopia,

We are all parts of great cycle,

Moving upward & downward spiral

Can we exercise choice?

To retain the youth-hood’s gleamy poise,

Can’t help but yield to unknown,

Then why not die without groan?

What began will meet its end,

It is millions of years tested trend,

This reality we need to comprehend,

Life is just a fair weather friend.

Life is biased but death is impartial,

No escape from Lord Death’s court-martial,

King or pauper, all to rot in grave,

Why not welcome end with a face brave?

We all appear in the stream of time,

To embrace life crowned with prime,

Then disappear to mingle with grime,

Reserve your days for love and its rhyme.
