Poem: I never want to die.

 I never want to die (January sixth, Koshur Qalam - کآشُر قلم challenge prompt poem by Dr. Koshy AV)

"I never want to die"

is the last tempter

but after one crosses

him/it too

the fourth one

portrayed by Eliot well

and overcomes him

Satan or Mara

or the one Nanak wrestled with

portals open

Rose petals strewn on the path

raining down from heaven

the sole of the foot in touch

with mother earth

mindful in the here and now

where you are with the wild animals

and angels come and minister to you,

playing the music of celestial, cosmic tunefulness

Thanks to Thich Nhat Hanh for the influence.
