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.
