A lovely lady;
Growing inside, a new life.
A man in a tux.
Another bell rings now.
Final grades, balanced college offers,
Off to another adventure.
Damp ground, headstones.
Growing inside, a new life,
Done with their adventures.

LOVE
Love will conquer all
those who fight it...surrender
to lose is to win
LILIES
The lilies called me
I sheltered in their flowers
a casket loomed close
BIRDS
Sirens scream at dawn
helicopters in pursuit
birds keep on singing

Dead bodies, a cry
People must come back home soon…
Enough with the war!
To all of those brave men who will never be home to celebrate our Independence
day this weekend, and the years to come!

an innocent child,
a nineteen-month-old baby,
was senselessly shot;
cold drive-by shooter
killed a cherished little boy--
with a heartless plot
endless tears of pain--
as we remember the love
of this lifeless tot

What has life in store?
Milk on bed and milk when dead.
Why sulk all along?
P.S.This poem is based on the Hindu customs of burial. Attending a funeral recently taught me this very essence of Life.
