Letting Go

Rating: ★4.3
Whatever we cling on to,
However strongly-
A hand of support,
A heart of love,
A strong passion,
A fading memory,
A feeling of warmth,
A word of inspiration,
A long longing, continually
Cherished but unfulfilled...
All we have to let go,
Oh yes, we have to let go!

Like the trees part with
The ripened fruits,
Like the branches and boughs
Shed their leaves,
Like the tired lips of a child,
Fallen asleep, slowly
Releases his mom's teat,
We too have to let go quietly
Everything we hold close
To our bosom, and
Silently fall on the cold,
Waiting lap of Mortality!

The beauty expressed in all the wonderful things we must let go of, makes the sting of death, the sharp pain, seem even more terrible, but inevitable death is the closing of the circle of life. We must all experience of pain of letting go. an exceptional poem.

Magnificent work, Khairul. After reading it, there was something that just reminded me of Thomas' 'Do not go gentle into that good night.' Both your verse and Thomas' explain the importance of letting go. Yet there is a stark difference in both tone and path to be taken. This is a great verse.

An indisputable truth beautifully presented. We came to this world empty handed and will have to leave it in the same way! What ever we hoarded in a life time, we have to leave behind or let go. This point is beautifully illustrated with apt examples! Enjoyed this poem immensely as the thoughts contained in it are my thoughts too! Five stars!

@Suresh Kumar Ek, 'Everything is mortal' - yes, that is the stark reality. I take the privilege of quoting a part of poet Kevin Patricks comment - 'as much as we try to hold on their is nothing we can hold onto for very long'! Thanks for visiting and leaving a thought.
