Ultimate Dash by Bala Mahadevan

The chair lies vacant 

The sweet sound in deep silence 

The glasses forlorn stands still 

The smiling face transported 

From depths of reality 

to the multitude of eternity 

Rests silently in pristine regale 

Perched up from the wall above 

Smiling down upon the loved ones 

Beseeched by trails and tribulations 

With days spent contemplating 

And Nights in loving remembrance 

Does ever Time stand still? 

To savor the moments spent 

And capture the feelings felt 

Value the kindred souls healed

Bottle up the laughter & smiles 

And remember the hard feelings 

So hear Ye brethren one and all 

To never wallow over the past 

Or make grand plans for future 

But to live in the present 

   Squeeze each minute 

    As if it is you last 

Treasure trove of memories 

As these will live for eternity 

And make life meaningful 

Filling our lives ultimate dash
