Late Mr. S.K. Rai, |
Time passes with every tick tock of the clock, yet the wound inside my heart is fresh and deep, still bringing tears yearning for the moments to come back.
The last picnic with his family. |
I was drenched in woe; I couldn’t eat properly that day.
Tears rolled down from my heart never gesturing to stop as I foreshadowed the
memories. I still feel he is with us, smiling and gazing upon us.
We awe him a lot, we are very grateful for everything sir
has done to us. The fruit we enjoy today is from the plant sir has helped us to
nurture. Our love and respect for him will
never be in dearth. I wish I could turn the hands of time and turn the barren land
into green field once again.
Why do all good people have to leave the world so early? The
bitter truth of life it is, every one has to kiss the death one day or other, and
no one can help it. The uncertainty of life ripped the sky apart and brought the
bitter rain. I dwell here like a toddler, helpless but I pray with all might, may his soul to
reside in heaven with evergreen peace and almighty to bless his family.
He will always be remembered and missed…..We all loved
him a lot but god loved him more…..may his soul rest in peace…
One of my class mate and
his student, Kezang Deki shares her gratitude and emotions captured in this
beautiful poem....
To sir with love
(Dedicated to late sir S.K.Rai)
Dank and oppressive is the darkness,
The world is petrified; the night is full of stillness,
Sinister silence rules the hours of night,
The celestial bodies conceal in the gloomy sky with plight.
I am left shattered in the moment of dark,
So brief! Your presence seemed only like a spark,
If only you would return to wipe my tears,
For I make the most earnest of prayers.
My soul bleeds and out the tear drains,
Thy absence makes my soul and body maim,
What thou among the years have never known,
Is my love and gratitude but now I mourned.
A glimpse of that world when you were there
Fades far away, dissolves and disappears clear,
Never knew that I have to see this day,
For thine absence my heart is never at gay.
Death has come with suffering, without pain,
Like a mystery without evidence to be lain,
With broken heart, I stand in sheer obscurity,
And purity, may you enter the heaven of serenity"
