Till They Fade Away Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

TILL THEY FADE AWAY

Unfortunate it is not to know one of their own
Only to regret after they are long gone
Remembering them only in spirit that gets windblown
Trying to keep their memory fresh as dew on the lawn

Till it fades away in the warmth of the sun
Like the colors on the life’s canvas that run
Into the heart of time before they are forgotten
Leaving behind only traces of figment of sentiments of emotions

Lucky are those who have their windows of heart open
To catch the glimpse of every ones love and affection
Before they travel beyond to become silver lining in the horizon
To keep on shining like stars in our vision

Till they fade away into the world of unknown
While the legacy may be grown or cut down
All in the depths of hearts of silver and golden
Leaving behind only the inscription written on the tombstone
