Letting Go Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Letting Go

Rating: 4.3


Whatever we cling on to,
However strongly-
A hand of support,
A heart of love,
A strong passion,
A fading memory,
A feeling of warmth,
A word of inspiration,
A long longing, continually
Cherished but unfulfilled...
All we have to let go,
Oh yes, we have to let go!

Like the trees part with
The ripened fruits,
Like the branches and boughs
Shed their leaves,
Like the tired lips of a child,
Fallen asleep, slowly
Releases his mom's teat,
We too have to let go quietly
Everything we hold close
To our bosom, and
Silently fall on the cold,
Waiting lap of Mortality!

The beauty expressed in all the wonderful things we must let go of, makes the sting of death, the sharp pain, seem even more terrible, but inevitable death is the closing of the circle of life. We must all experience of pain of letting go. an exceptional poem.
