In Dilemma

When a soul bids you adieu,
A farewell of the most tragic, lasting sort,
What do you feel?

When all is left behind,
Body, health, wealth and family,
Do you think you can comprehend,
The multitudes, the kaleidoscopic emotions..
That at times wreak havoc in your person?

When ashes are all that remains,
Of the person you once knew in flesh and blood,
Do you feel happy for the peace the soul is said to receive?

Or do you feel sad for your loss,
And the ambiguity of their state?

  1. No wonder we takes days, in some cases years and in some(or one) entire life time to reconcile..
    I often felt that the tears that voluntarily and uncontrollably flow down when we a loved one has left, are also due to the doubt filled pain that did we bid them a "good" bye, a lobefilled bye and a gratitude filled bye when we last met them??? Did we?? Or is the soul carrying a sadness about it.. May be that is the reason why we say R.I.P!!!
