Life....: Parting Emotions

Thursday, March 09, 2006

When someone very close to us has to leave

We feel like doing nothing but just to grieve

Everything seems dull and even good things seem bad

And even if you try to act normal…there is an inner core that is sad

You think of all the nostalgic memories and the times when you were together

All memories strewn across in time….you just want to gather

When the times come to bid final goodbye….and you do have to part

That final embrace touches the inner core of your heart

And although you may try your best to look cheerful and stable

People all around who try to console you….make you feel all the more vulnerable

In those last few moments……something seems to happen to time’s pace

It seems to halt completely for a moment…..and the next it seems to race

You want to speak such a lot…but you stay mute with your lips dried

You feel as helpless as a soaring bird would do. if it had its wings tied

But all wounds left by emotions do heal with time

Priorities keep changing and one priority can never be prime

After all one has to fall before he can really rise!

I guess these emotions are an essential part to help one acclimatize!
