Goodbye Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Under the cloudless sky
the stars seems to get closer to earth
like souls from heaven
going in pursuit to take birth
for the world be the only planet
in which to experience
both joy and sorrow
as time leads into the shadow of the night
to reach the goal
gets more sharp to even be as an arrow

in the stillness of the forest
the trees seems to fall asleep
the dry branches of empty leaves
leaves an impression to make you want to weep
the change of season
will come when new opportunities arise
to witness the blanket of mist
in the valley disappear
before the lamp of sunrise

the cross of humanity
remain a challenge to understand birth and death
wake up my children
from the sleep of illusion
and make the choice you will not regret
the key to the future
lies in the power of the mind
learn to shield yourself from the fire of anger
and quench your thirst in your vision for mankind

like a fullmoon night
when all the birds give praise
for the opportunity to fly
humans should take the same pattern
to worship in silence
and complete the sacrifice
before the words 'goodbye'
