Attachment And Separation Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Attachment And Separation
The droplet wants to stick around
The tip of the inclined leaf;
But it cannot ignore
The pull of gravity,
So it falls…..
And dies!
It falls and dies instantly;
But it leaves behind a scene
Of a conflicting contrast-
Of attachment,
And separation,
In the poet's mystic mind!

The imagery and the sentimental feeling struck to my mind and tongue, a simple poem but it goes deep..thats how it works!
We form attachments that are difficult to separate from. This is an excellent write about love and life. Like Bri said in his comment, it does take two.
How true this is of human life! Ours is a story of attachments and separation! Though we cling on to life, we have to leave it one day! It is painful that we have to bid farewell to persons to whom we are attached! The fact that we cannot cling on to anything in life is beautifully illustrated with the example of the raindrop which falls down though it tries to cling on tenaciously to the leaf!
@Edward Kofi Louis, 'The pull of gravity! ' - Yes, dear poet, it's just that! Difficult to ignore, it pulls us to our graves and then only stops! Thanks for reading and commenting in your usual way!
