Death

Free Verse

By Zakir UllahPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

Death is not an ending,

but a return.

A soft release,

like laying down a burden

you have carried too far.

It whispers,

“Rest now—

your story is written,

your breath has given all it could.”

And beyond the silence,

there is a vast meadow,

where pain does not reach,

and time does not chase.

Here,

you are whole again.
