Notes About The Poem

Transcedence by Artist, Kavita Nayar

____________________________
 

Autumn - Constanza

Autumn leaves falling, makes us sigh
The arid ground is beautified 
Why for then should death be decried

When life force ebbs and death draws nigh
It’s but a time for transition
Gaining in heaven admission 

Dark and lonely, seems the night sky
Motionless, save a shooting star
Wondrous, we look on from afar

In truth there’s no final goodbye
For we’re all in spirit entwined
One light, in many forms confined

Life is eternal, death’s a lie
Know oh hermit, soul’s quintessence
As living light, we’re God’s essence

Autumn leaves falling, makes us sigh
When life force ebbs and death draws nigh
Dark and lonely, seems the night sky
In truth there’s no final goodbye
Life is eternal, death’s a lie

Valsa George September 23, 2022 at 9:27 AM "In truth there’s no final goodbye Life is eternal, death’s a lie"..... These lines fortify us against fears of death and reduce the pain over the loss of dear ones. Though they stay away from our eyes and our presence, they enter a state of eternal bliss and it is such a consoling thought. With Autumn, our journey does not end, but paves way for resurrection. Beautiful poem Unseeking Seeker October 21, 2022 at 7:30 PM Yes, Valsa. As you’ve correctly observed, we are soul in dwelling decaying organic form. Body dies but soul, as God’s essence, lives on eternally.

John Watt September 21, 2022 at 12:36 PM Seeker, this is a lovely thanatopsis, thought-provoking and honoring of Connie's journey. Autumn is not an end, merely a segment of the journey through the year, and the same can be said of death as a portal to another and better realm. I love your use of light and dark as contrasting aspects of the same reality and especially the shooting star stanza. Thank you for honoring the memory of Connie this way. She is indeed a bright star in our celestial tapestry. Light and peace ~ John Unseeking Seeker September 21, 2022 at 6:25 PM Thank you, John. I’m sure almost everyone on PS would like to pen a few lines for Connie in their own way ~ she was loved and admired by all

Michael Tor September 21, 2022 at 6:20 AM The imagery is wonderful thanks for sharing my friend... Unseeking Seeker September 21, 2022 at 6:52 AM Indeed, I’m sure Connie would have been pleased at the effort. I never knew she had invented this form, otherwise I’d probably have employed it earlier. Michael Tor September 21, 2022 at 6:20 AM Connie would have loved to read this one from you...

Malabika Ray Choudhury September 21, 2022 at 5:04 AM Dear Poet, I can't express how much I love this poem - so profound, and so well-crafted in Constanza form. Connie would have been very proud if she read this poem. And the last stanza - the last line - is just incredible! You have created a real gem! Blessings ~ Mala Malabika Ray Choudhury September 21, 2022 at 6:30 AM Approve!!! Loved it. To my Faves. Mala Unseeking Seeker September 21, 2022 at 5:21 AM Thank you, Mala! This is the first time I’ve tried this form and I wanted it to address Connie's transition from the material to the ethereal domain, whilst keeping in sync with the contest requirements. I’m so happy you approve :)
