No Other Way But... Poem by Nosheen Irfan

No Other Way But...

Rating: 5.0


The sun goes down- -casting a red-eyed glance
of resignation
painting the sky- - in an abstract illustration
of departure.

Some goodbyes cannot be helped
There's no other way
But to give in- - - - -
- - - - - - To darkness.

Hi Nosheen, In everybody's life, there are occasions when there is no other way - - - - - but to give in to darkness. Beautiful poem. What I learn of Nosheen is that, of late, she has become very novel and inventive! Congrats Nosheen.10 for this exciting number.

You link two things that are so far apart and so different in scale: first, the massive sun surrendering to night in a blaze of red light; and then a solitary lonely person surrendering to yet another night alone. And we realize what is happening in that single person's heart is every bit as great as a star's events. There is an infinity of feeling in each of us which rivals the movement of celestial bodies.
