The Ones Left Behind


The ones left behind...!!!

We each have our own sorrows
Our own burdens we carry
Come to this world though free
We leave behind a deep void
Some tearful eyes bid farewell
Some glad to see the light dim
Eyes holding us back, pleading
Eyes unforgiving and unrelenting
As the fading world bids goodbye
A fleeting moment does pass
Do we leave behind more saddened brows
Or bid adieu pure as the day
The first light that shone in our eyes
And the first smile that brightened our presence
How do you want to go
Softly washed away from the Shore
Or gently blown away a whisper
Whether the sea or the blowing wind taketh us
Go we shall all one day
Fading away into a nothingness
Having put down all the burdens of sorrow.

Probably written with Lekha in my mind. Change was not something I welcomed well. She is a bittersweet enemy of mine whom I can't live without but don't like much either. Sometimes life throws a curve ball and how we react to it seals our fate. With the recent developments, I often catch myself wondering as to if I am the Stone being eroded by the river of Life and not really the floating log I had believed myself to be. 

One thing is for sure, though. This does seem to be a good exercise and shall be pursued every single day.
