Sepulchre of God
(Dedicated to the loving memory of my late grandfather)
I want to, I want to believe
No matter what the scientists say,
In spirits, spirituality and that the cosmos the souls never leave;
That we will meet again.
You struggled greatly, supported your family since a teen,
Forgive me for all my faults, you are a phenomenon,
In the eternal play of life ends your scene,
But as a venerable inspiration to posterity you will continue on.
As your son I would like to reborn
Till then I stand alone and forlorn.
Now that you are gone
I had no shoulder to cry upon.
Who will now tell me what to hear, who will now console me,
At present who will pamper me, who will now spoil me,
What I am today without you I could not be
You have endowed me with an intellect fresh and free.
Cruel fate indulged in deicide and snatched you away
No one left to share this suffering
In my dreams I will see you everyday
In my memories, in my heart you will continue existing.
Old artificer, mentor and godfather-
To meet you again, even if only once, I would rather
Than to brook a life of suffering,
Encounter you in a blue moon, in a rite of spring.
It is you who first held my hand and introduced me to idea’s realm,
It is you who initiated the noble ethos in my bloodstream.
Taught me to learn from the lives of great personality
This separation is not a finality.
No matter how much the dark woods call
I will go on, strive on
I will get up again every time I fall
T o materialize all your dreams, fulfill all your wishes I will fight on.
