To My Son Poem by Xelam Kan™

To My Son

Rating: 5.0


Your breaths, I hear 
are out of tune, and your eyes
reflect a cat like regret,
Oh seek comfort my child,
in sorrows, in pains,
love may not bless you again
and the mutiny of heart(you don't know)
shadows death.
You can't cerebrate the insanity
of dull minds nor the purpose
of life you've  designed.
Life will not allure you
in your sleepless nights.
Oh who grabs your skies
and pulled the earth from you?
Rise, and be the lord of your fate,
under your wings, lie
the world beyond your fancies,
but the fears that dwell inside you,
gonna make you cry.
So, dance with death, my son,
and live as if you have nothing
to lose.

IF this poem is actually directed towards the author’s or someone else’s “son” or anyone else, it sounds as though it is meant to encourage the “son” to press on with life despite the obstacles to happiness ………….. to “live as if you have nothing to lose”. That advice, if taken literally, could lead to great happiness OR great sorrow, to a comfortable life or to a prison cell. I found the poem to be driving forcefully to perseverance** in one’s life, and I think if the advice is from father to son, it is meant to promote well-being. ** per•se•ver•ance ˌpərsəˈvirəns/ noun noun: perseverance 1. steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. his perseverance with the technique illustrates his single-mindedness synonyms: persistence, tenacity, determination, staying power, indefatigability, steadfastness, purposefulness; More - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “You can't cerebrate the insanity of dull minds nor the purpose of life you've designed.

I’ll add this to my/our June showcase on my PH site. thanks for sharing, Xelam. bri :)
