I am Sixty-Five

I am 65,Going on 66;
No difference to me anyway.

Saying this makes my soul falter;
Choice I do not have, I convince myself.

My life,my past, a history in itself;
My future, is there one, i ask myself.

A simple life, six decades long;
Memory not enough to remember all along.

Loved ones, loved long ago;
Others, forgotten with time.

My entire life, 65 years in the making;
Every second, an insignificant contribution.

Love, hatred, the smiles and the tears;
Twisted and bent, my heart tested its limits.

Simple complications, I faced all my life;
To live and let live, the universal solution.

Crying, I entered this heavenly haven;
The thought of leaving makes my soul cry.

Well wishers thank God for my lengthy life;
None to fill the emptiness within.

All these years,i yearned to earn;
Why? Funny... to end up in a sophisticated casket.

HE, the soul creator,zillions he created;
me, one among them, but still uniqueness blended in me.

My babysteps and footprints on the beaches;
my appreciation for ur prized creation, nature;
my demand for ur everlasting support and help;
my trust in you, my passion for you;
God! You will miss it all when i am gone.
You will miss me.

Every second brings death closer to me;
Embracing death is embracing the truth with my soul.

Dreams, a lot, remain a dream;
Chores, a lot, remain undone;
Words, a lot, remain unsaid;
Feelings, a lot, remain unshared;
A lot, A lot, to me it seems a lot.
To live life to the fullest,an impossibility;
Making ends meet, which we aspire most;
The accomplished, we do not seem to notice;
Lavish dreams, blind our eyes;

God!I understand it all now..as i wait;
wait, to embrace death with all my heart.

I look above, the million stars blind my sight;
Somewhere, to live for eternity, another heaven.

Resting place for a dying soul, a dream worth dying;
To die, a dream with all the truth within.

God, I am waiting....I am waiting..I am 65.
