Final Farewells
Torrents of tears flow
At the demise of a beloved friend
Striking into our hearts a low blow
As against sorrow ourselves we can’t defend
Morale fallen
Strength and breadth lost
Crestfallen
Emotional cost
Too high to bear
As uncertainties our future strikes
Amid wear and tear
At high speed likes
To wear us down
Where it hurts us the most
In our crown though we attempt to avoid a frown
We can’t fail to post
On the sorrow we feel
In the inner sanctum of our being
Wondering why fate and destiny steal
The pleasure our departed bestow to the living
Whom they leave grieving
Lost without a clue
As to how receiving
Pain stacks in a blue
Tears hearts to pieces
In heaps of emotion
In pain creases
Metamorphosing affection
Into uncertainty
Streaming in stacks
Whose quality and quantity
Arriving in packs
Can’t hide
The pain we struggle
To chide
In the gaggle
Sorrow rains
As we say farewell
In tandem with pains
To wish the living fast recovery and soon to get well.
