About The Book

“Memories are the soul’s ambrosia; they are our lifetime savings in the safe deposit of our minds, true friends we can fall back upon when we need them most…. They are our connect with the past, and there is no present sans past.” “Decay is encoded in the seed that has yet to sprout into life; Everything that is born has to wither away and die; Life is a chance in a million but death is a certainty.” What started as a personal journal of the author engaged in care giving to his sick, aged mother, evolved into a dialogue and contemplation on life and death, ageing and decay, faith and skepticism—subjects that have intrigued and mystified humans for ever. Through flashbacks into the past and the existential challenges of the present, the dialogues progressed to the final frontier. This collection of poems captures the poignancy of ageing, the challenges of care giving, the fear of losing a beloved parent, the inevitability of death and the visions of the hereafter.
