At Night- Death Comes Stealthily Poem by Goutam Dutta

He just left;
suddenly!
Swiftly!
In the middle of the night-
When the stars hid behind the cloud cover,
When all was quiet,
When the world,
wrapped in a quilt of the dark night, slept
they came for him.
They woke him up
Pulled him from his bed
Holding him by the hand
They guided him to the edge!
For an instant it was all dark.
Then,
He heard music
And was bathed in the light
Of a brilliant Halo!
