187th Post

As the month of july is coming to a close.
Over a glass of the usual.

I sit back and ponder.
The true meaning of life and living life.

I know full well.
That one day.
It will be my turn.

To experience.
A loved one's final journey.

It's never easy.
When one knows that one will only get to see the person.
For the very last time.

As i bear witness to the cremation ceremony.
Many could not help.
But shed their tears.

As for me.
It was hard for me to remain detached.
But i managed.

As time passes.
Guess there are many more lessons to be learnt.
And much more knowledge to be gained.

But will it be able to explain what is life all about?
Guess that remains to be seen.

May their souls rest in peace.
And that their children find comfort and recover from their sudden loss.
