old man

an old man
in utter stillness of evening calm
in a dark corner
silenced by age
sits with rosary in hands - fervently prays
that death takes him soothingly
with motherly embrace.
milestone of history
treasured between the fold of wrinkles
awaiting the call
he sits quietly
welcoming his past
the younger energetic days
moments of frolicking plays.
now all gone
except the worn out body
regressing vision
toothless cavity
nostalgic feelings.
an old man - abandoned
in quiet corner
a space in his new HOME
lovingly provided by his loving children
THE HOME FOR THE INFIRM!!!
laughers of yore
hidden somewhere in time
relationship was without a rudder
drifted apart and he shudders
to realise he was deluded to believe the illusion
illusory existence of dependence
his love have forsaken him.
only GOD accompanying the remaining seconds
when the anchor lay rest
let the finale besieged with bliss.
