Mocking silence 

got disturbed

when the child asked

What is death? 

His speaking eyes

As glassy as 

virgin still lake

Were fading innocence 

I looked at him

Dumbstruck, disconcerted 

I smiled and thought

How to convince him? 

Death is like  beloved 

for those having heart of tiger

death is a enemy 

For a brave fighter

Death is a journey

For  wavering travellers

Death is the metamorphosis 

For fittest like chameleon

transforming into better

for those smiling trees

playfulness of sun 

For the shining lotus

The leaping flames 

For angry young man
