Good Bye Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Good Bye
On this solitary noon, on my bed as I leisurely lie,
And through the window as I look at the azure sky,
I can see the split patches of white clouds trailing across,
And floating away...afar...to some unknown destinations.
Very often our overhead sky is traversed by
Multi colored aeroplanes that fly across the sky.
Their colorful tails replicate flags of many kinds,
Flags of the states, or just the logo of the Airlines.
I keep gazing at those like a child as they fly away,
Some times burying themselves in the cloud and
Some times piercing through the patches right away,
As if playing hide and seek, like the children at play.
Whenever I see an aeroplane fly away,
To distant destinations, carrying passengers who may
Never again see each other, nor may I their plane,
I wish them good bye, why I cannot explain!
(Edited and abridged version of my original poem titled ‘Going Away', written on 05 November 2013)
What an invigorating landscape along with emotions attached with unknown people going away by air, road, sea or rail, You are such a wonderful craftsman, Khairul Ahsan. Thanks. I request them to carry my good wishes, wherever they go, I feel as if a piece of my heart has gone with them,
I am glad that you have read this poem with so much attention. Much inspired by your thoughtful comment, @Rajnish Manga.
This is a great poem, I like the contemplation aspect and vision.
'I like the contemplation and the vision' - thank you @Angelina Holmes for these words of inspiration. The comment is short but it means a lot to me.
This poem absorbed and charmed me. It shows you are not only a poet, but a caring soul who reflects on the lives of strangers.
Thanks for reading the poem and for leaving a kind appraisal here, @Susy Evelyne. Much inspired. I've read your poem - 'To A Sleeping Daughter' and left a comment there.
A stream of thoughts so wonderfully brought to life with such ease, of giving to strangers your good wishes on their journey and to wonder at their lives, is the soul of a true poet!
Oh, so nicely you have appreciated this humble effort of mine, that makes me so much inspired! Thank you, @Hazel Durham! I've read your poem - 'To Love And Live' and made a comment there.
@ Patricia Grantham, Thanks for sharing your childhood memories. Now I know that many of us have similar feelings as of mine.
