ManiSaying goodbye should never be hard…
Like atoms in a Universe are we all, drifting
Endlessly, without beginning, now here now there
Coming together perchance, then moving apart once more
In the Dance of the Cosmos, that began even before Time began
Union brings warmth, sharing brings joy, contentment
Fulfilment, perchance even Love
The nature of the Dance wills that we shall drift apart again
Why then grieve over farewells, so universal, so inevitable?
Love endures beyond farewells! Beyond Time
By Love indeed has One created this Universe…for a Loved One
Each nanosecond we are born, we dance, we die, are reborn
Atomic clusters and energy quanta come together, fall apart, merge in new shapes
Now a crystal, now a rhino’s ear, now a fragrance, a sparkle in thine eye
A lightning flash today, the power of a thousand minds tomorrow
Eternally changing….yet unchanged, eternal!
At times sedate, at times frenzied, we sway and whirl and careen
To a divine Music that strikes resonant chords in all
A Stellar Orchestra, a Cosmic Choreography!
We the dancers, our Selves the instruments…
And the Composer-Conductor-Musician-Choreographer Supreme in you
And in me, in all there is…
Always

Another superb piece, as always. Your posts are becoming sort of rarer these days..Just loafing, I suppose…:-)
Haha thanks Jayanta…indeed my posts become as rare as the presence of oxygen in Dilli air 🙂
As always a beautiful read with so much depth in the meaning of farewell. Our friend Nripen DB use to always say “to meet, to love and then to part is the saddest story of the human heart”.
Thanks Lonie…and Nripen put it so well
PROFOUND!

I don’t know the answer of this
‘Why then grieve over farewells, so universal, so inevitable’
But we grieve so hard …
It doesn’t get better. We only learn to live with it over time ….
Yes, grief is so terribly hard to overcome…i think perhaps we can only reflect on the light and warmth of the good memories, let slip away the not-so-good and the regrets, and in time grief will heal to soft remembrance…?
