ON THE UNTIMELY DEMISE OF DHAN

ON THE UNTIMELY DEMISE OF DHAN

Oh! What a gloomy vicissitude
That snatched you away from us
In an instant; it did intrude,
Force us to face an irreparable loss…

Like an innocent baby Sprite
You slept not to ever wake
To toddle, waddle and walk
And rejoice to view life’s day light!

How could one expect a tender pink twig to drop
Without any ill omen of cyclone or gust;
Or a boat to drown never to ever come up
Sine any augury of hurricane or tempest?

Your sepulture in the ninth month was a bolt from the blue
What’s use of your B.C I fortuitously procured on the same day too?
Who can be a more unfortunate to get the B.C and D.C together
And remain a baffled, buffeted and bereft begetter?

 
N.B:- Dhan, poet's younger daughter, breathed her last on 15th Nov.2010 at 11.45 p.m   due to pneumonia. She was born on 10th Feb. 2010
