Peaceful Vaccum – Delhi Poetry Slam

Peaceful Vaccum

By Surbhi Islam

Death, a peaceful vacuum
Where souls hover like a kite
There, every particle is celestial
Every fleck, glimmering bright

Even the weakest isn't frightened
Every soul is awakened
All the heads held high
Every mind is enlightened

Death, an unfading symphony
A sound so sweet in the ears
A tranquil expanse of the universe
A hum that cannot be disappeared

A dizzying atmosphere
A heart warming temperature
A drizzle now and then
Blessed are all the creatures

It must be heaven.
Or is it hell?
Death is so mystifying
No soul can tell

But I can't care anymore
This mystery is hardly relevant
The force that made me numb
That only is predominant

I've no desire to speak anymore
But the hush is overwhelming
I'm comforted by the passiveness
This inertia is overpowering

No traces of love
No signs of attachment
From all the pining and longings
A perfect detachment

And the threshold is crossed
I'm on the other side
It's a peaceful vacuum
Now I'm finally satisfied...sur
