Thousand years merely play

Thousand years merely play,
Thousand years merely play like fireflies in darkness
World around culminates - to bare coffins
Moonlight sprinkles upon sand - Shadowy date palms fumble
Death humbled, like disintegrated columns
Pale , stagnant, mute and pyramidal.
Bodies reek of slumber, Life's transactions expire
"Remember?", asked he
I merely queried, "Banalata Sen?"
