Agni (Hindi: Fire)

As I lay down
Looking up at the setting sky
a million stars smiling down
sound of river tapping (lapping) the banks

I hear the rustling on the sand.
There you were standing next to me
tears in your eyes.
You looked just like your were
when I first held you in my arms.

I turned away to see the brilliant sky
as the flames shot up around me
taking me and greeting the sky.

At that instance – Mukh-Agni
Everything fleeted before my eyes
As I saw my mother reaching out
I turned to see your face
And we both smiled.
