By his side, the devout chant God's glory
in a life so brittle and fragile
yet not lacking in strength to navigate
on the river of chaotic turbulence.
Some are tearlessly silent,
a few are about to embrace a cry
and there is one whose wails
reverberate and pound the walls.
The ascent to the greater kingdom
is adorned with white lotus
and incense that smell of heaven.
Filled with the finality
there is no point denying,
the atheist sleeps on peacefully.
