Before The Sunsets... Poem by Poonam Mehta

Let all the birds return to their cocoons.
Let all the humans attain 'Nirvana'.

Before the sun sets...

Let my heart desire the undesired.
let me accomplish the unaccomplished.
let me do the undone..

let my wishes travel the foriegn lands.
let my mind think the unthinkable and
Let my pen write all the dried up poems.

let the cool breeze play with my long tresses.
(though I have short ones)
let my lips kiss the morning dew.
(though i get up only by noon)

Let me bring life to those who are nearly dead.
Let me live to the fullest and know the place well.
(people i won't be able to know even after the sun sets.)
