as the most intimate companions
as the best of friend and foe
as the body and soul
in death....when
the soul gets its wings to fly
what could have been
that one word of console
to bring back
peace and tranquility
to that dead body
in death...at that moment
what would have been
that one word of console
Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
