Should I Let You Go? Poem by Umasree Raghunath

You anchored my ship
During the most turbulent storms
You captained my plane
During the most rough weathers
Now the sea is clam and
I find you wanted to be gone
Now the sky is clear and
I find you wanted to be gone

You gardened my life
Removing the unwanted weeds
You pruned the dying plant
To resurrect and start to flower again
Now the garden is full of roses
And you start to lay the thorns?
Now the plant is grown as the tree
And you start to uproot the roots?

You brought in the smiles
In the other wise saddened life
You brought in the prospects
In the other wise stagnated life
Now the life is a story of success
But you watched the tears to flow?
Now the life is going forward
But you pull the strength not to move?

You brought in the rainbow
Amidst the worsening rainfalls
You got in the best the world could
Amidst the turbulent clouds
Now the rain bow is missing
With the cyclonic fall of leaves
Now the life is nothing but meaningless
And not knowing whether to let you go?
