Vanishing In Thin Air. Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

Vanishing In Thin Air.

Rating: 4.6


I have come to a stage
When times hardly moves
I have come to a stage
When nobody cares for me
Even my kith and kens
I have come to a stage
When everything I feel
Come to a stand still.

Is it a feeling
When you become old and feeble
Whether you like it or not
I must welcome the death
Nobody can escape from death
Sure!
When I was a child
I was not aware of the things
What would I be
At the evening part of my life,
Or of caring for death.

Now, things move and move
andI would be no more
At any moment, vanishing in thin air!
