Thought Of Death Poem by Shahin Asmari

At night when I could not sleep,
I managed to start thinking so deep.
I wondered how people would react if I die;
It came suddenly, I don't know why!
Though I tried hard to flee,
I divided friends into three.

The first, those who heard:
'Your old friend is now dead.'
They thought a moment and then said:
'He was the one whom I never cared.
None of my business that he's gone,
I am busy, let me have my work done.'

The second, those who were better,
Their idea was quite more fair.
They thought more and got sad,
But they did not really go mad.
They remembered me a whole day,
Although they forgot me in their own way.

The third, those who were shocked;
They were those whom I more liked.
They couldn't bear it, started to weep,
Their sorrow in their heart was way deep.
They thought of my memories, my charms,
Thought of the photos I had taken in the farms.
Deep in, they only felt a grief,
But after a week, there was relief.

Time flew and they all forgot me,
This was not what I wanted to see.
The world was the same, no change there,
Days did go, everyone had his share.

Suddenly I didn't know what happened,
My mind had a dream summoned.
That was sweet, I saw I was born,
The time I remember, it was morn.
A smile appeared on my lip,
My soul stopped the journey of its ship.
The alarm of the clock went off madly;
That was me rising from bed sadly.

Just a dream I had seen,
Never saw myself as a teen,
I was only a child in my dream,
Everything quiet, there was no scream.
I was sad, I wanted to send my sorrow out,
I wrote a poem because I could not shout!
