The Journey
With the suddenness of a locomotive
that has come to an abrupt halt,
he fell motionless and in a coffin lay.
like -
All mystery sealed in a jar,
All agony compressed
in a tremulous whimper,
All charms shut in an amulet
amid,
the scent of burning incense,
frozen silence,
heaving hearts
and
silent prayers,
While the chariot wheeled him along
the mazy paths,
stretching, stretching endless
to a world,
beyond all galaxies,
to the Elysian Fields-
to a time immeasurable
To abiding infinity
To inconceivable eternity! !
