SWAN SONG
(–noun the last act or manifestation
of someone or something;
farewell appearance)
_____
Lotus pond
Waits
Silently
Lotus flowers too
Pink petals -hesitatingly
Unfurl, heron silently stare
Life unfolding,
In the morning mist
Boddhi tree floated, a message
Of life,
In the falling leaf
On the temple floor
Breeze stood still
Music of Flute stopped playing
In the bamboo grove
Swan has started singing its song
Life, lives in little steps of love
But love bleeds life
In little steps, too
Falling, leaving and dying
Swan is singing
Its swan song
Time does not know,
It has come
Deep in the temple
Buddha Smiles
Nothing is forever
Forever is nothing
