(The poem is a narrative poem described in the First Person. A man, whose native haunts was
Dublin, tells his wife and son to spread his ash over the Dublin Sea. He was for long a resident
of London. He passes away and they carry his urn to Dublin. The urn got slipped out of the
hands and the ashes remained within the urn. The waves finally carried the urn back to the
London side and forever the urn got nailed under the Liverpool Docks. Now, he reflects on the
compendium of life. What is the reality of our final wish other than the decisions made by the
tides of Time? This poem thus bears a message.)
