How much has been collected?
And the end so near!
To empty it all,
Is there time enough!?
At the thin brink
Between life and Death;
I will be checked,
For what all did I bring back.
All that is collected so far,
Belongs to heather world!
Surely, it is going to be rejected;
While I enter through the thin door.
On this side
it all seems mandatory.
On returning home,
It is all but nugatory!
Wait!
Let me carry what I can carry home.
For all I see
Only myself is allowed to be.
But alas!
the frivolities are too heavy a baggage!
Accumulating I did not see!
Empty where now will it be?
