Nostalgic Bliss Poem by Michelle Candelaria
Nostalgic Bliss
As the leaves of memories fall
And swept away by a cool breeze
You will suddenly realize,
This kind of pain is intolerable
What is growth for?
If you will leave behind the sweetness of
childhood?
Why welcome success and richness?
If simplicity and poverty is the best gift
of all?
How do you bear the pain?
The pain of being separated from your roots
If, even though there are many
Yet, you are alone and empty
Why think about the future?
If the past is more meaningful
Why think about now?
If now is the most painful?
Suddenly, you will hear the waves of the sea
And dream of nothing
But to reach the horizon
And then rest peacefully…
Why think about the future? If the past is more meaningful Why think about now? If now is the most painful? These questions are relevant to everybody at some point in time or the other. A big Thank You to Hans Vr for his elaboration on the poem.
Very moving poem. Bliss of the past. A simple life in poverty is sometimes better than a complex life in wealth. I think for the person in the poem: Let's go and get back those blown away leaves and use them as elements of strength to face new challenges and pain. Longing for that horizon in times of great pain so very human. Gathering all strength to overwin the pain, perhaps get out and help others in similar situations will ensure we will be able to enjoy the horizon when the horizon really comes.
