THE QUIET BURIAL
Fear of loss, of failure, of felony
Of past that made you weak within
But ‘coz you fear to pen down your thoughts
You just committed the 7th sin
Create; you build the dream you saw
But none was wiser to judge your thoughts
‘coz none was wiser to share the feel
‘coz none was there for you to heal
Inflicted wound, in your mind
The dream was not for the world to see
The 6th sin committed, you possessed your thought
Fear to come out in open but flee
As Frost declared in his epic
“The road less travelled” was what he claimed
You believe you did the same
But a few hundreds on the way, you blamed
Your trust in self is worth a penny
‘What if!’ rules your mind in pain
5th sin on the brink, up and heady
‘coz the grass you chose, rotten or green
You judged yourself as wrong already
Three, the number, mysterious of all
As much as you want, mortal you are
Three sins already, unforgiving world
From tomorrow, you pledge, to end all hate
But world has plans, as one said
Tomorrow never comes till it’s too late
That moment in life
Life becomes surreal
The world comes to honour, to smirk in pride
The honour is in relief, that it is for real
The honour is in witnessing, The Quiet Burial

Hey Dhawan,
thoughts are deep indeed.....time an again i have realized that the biggest sin i commit is by not sinning.....and this plain,logical and tailormade life pinches me....and that prooves to be a large motivation to commit what you call...a "SIN"..
great work!! keep writing
you build the dream you saw
But none was wiser to judge your thoughts
‘coz none was wiser to share the feel
‘coz none was there for you to heal.... very well said PD too good....
