Grieve Not Poem by Valsa George

Grieve Not

Rating: 5.0


You bemoan;

Dry dust rises behind you as you walk
The ground lies parched like fossilized thoughts
The Earth has become a panting sterile desert
But know, rain shall soon drench the cracked lands
And dormant seeds shall once again sprout
So grieve not!

You complain;

Every tree has shed its leaves
The tall grass has withered around the lakes
Chill blast blows and mist slowly settles and solidifies
But the flakes of snow shall melt
And spring shall come with the carnival of colors
So grieve not!

You worry;

Your hopes disintegrate in time
Fear, like a militant, silences every sound
Sorrow ploughs ravines on your face
But the phoenix shall triumphantly rise
From the pile of ashen dreams
So grieve not!


You fear;

Your heart might shatter into a thousand shards
The capillaries under the skin may burst spilling blood
Upheavals may rise and rock your skies
But believe the storm shall soon subside
And calm will break
So grieve not!

You visualize;

Silence growing ominous around you
Everything getting mired in confusion
Darkness spreading as a shroud
But be hopeful, the sun shall soon rise
Filling the Earth with cheer and light
So grieve not!

And be doubly assured;

The rain shall drench the parched lands
The phoenix shall resurrect from the ashes
The snowflakes will melt and spring shall come
The storm will subside and calm will break
The sun shall rise, illumining the Earth with light

We all think the worst most of the time, but nature just comes and goes. No matter how bad things get, if it came it means it can go. A great poem.

The method of presenting every poem is so good. You give a problem, a solace (So grieve not!) and finally solution. Wonderful.

A few perceptions of life with an appeal to keep calm at times of inevitable adversities. Madam Valsa, you have spoken here like a seer and philosopher.

Human nature has always been complex. It sees more negativity than positivity. However, the poet in you could not bear such negative aspects in a human being and so you bring sunshine through your inspiring last stanza. A beautiful poem penned.10/10
