! Au Revoir! Poem by Nikunj Sharma
! Au Revoir!
Grief fills my spirit, liberty waits
behind the door. Anguish rules
my mind, even if I am granted
a peace of sorts.
Something big, unexpected and
lethal, has made me unwell and
it's taken my strength away, sadly
no time to be had, I am on my way.
Your kind words, so skillfully mastered
graced my last few days, like a gentle
stroke on a velvet cheek of a child;
served my evening with sunny rays.
Goodbye is not an easy word, especially
when the pen is dipped in tears, but the
time has come and this is all I have to offer
to a friend, to that unseen someone.
May you too have peace, while you
lead a life full of integrity, May you
draw real close to the god and experience
a perfect serenity.
This poem is a tribute to Monica Monet (Also wrote under names of Tess Fielders and Elayna Le Sabre) ,
an extremely talented poet who sent me her last email, day before yesterday. This came as a surprise
because during our interaction she never spoke about her illness. This poem is
in fact almost a replica of her last email. Please join me in offering prayers
for her, may her soul rest in peace. Good bye my unseen friend.
I think it was a simultaneous comment from both of us to each other...once again I convey my prayers for Monica....hope everyone else joins you in this regard
It is only in this site that I have learned to shed a tear for an unknown person… met by the talents, artist of played words… we will be praying for you, our dear friend. Our heart grief as you are leaving us first, even though… the memory is true… it is written and will never be forgotten.
Deeply touched by this poetess made beautiful in my mind by her brave good-bye. Friends are not replacable. May her poems live beyond the calendar is my prayer. My caring thoughts for both of you. Love, Sandra
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her may her soul rest in peace-Amen a fine tribute to a fine lady -10 anjali
I truly pray for her soul and may her rest in peace forever..

So sorry that this has happened. I know that her presence will be missed. I know how traumatic it is to lose someone, especially this quickly. We should try to never take anyone for granted, because they can disappear so quickly sometimes.
