They are around

Yes i am happy,
To be alive.
What is it,
That gives me the high?

Those who were,
An integral part,
Are now lost,
Somewhere in dark.

I wish i could hear you,
Calling my name,
Touch your wrinkled skin,
At least once again.

Your boundless support,
And unsaid reprovals,
Helped me grow roots,
And find my soil.

You entrenched me well,
On this spinning earth,
Had you not been you,
I would have had no worth.

You have not gone,
You are living in me,
Your values & beliefs,
Are sustaining me!

  7. Trust you, Indu to look for something positive even in loss. We often remember our loved ones with love and regret, but it is not often that we let them give us a high. :)

  8. Second paragraph onwards it builds so much on the emotions, that you could actually live the words. The last paragraph is a midas touch. Simple and beautiful. Will learn a lot from you Ma'am.

    Lovely piece..

  16. There is a deep undercurrent in your words that grip me tight and these words echo and reverberate in my ears. The ones who have gone leave behind a part of themselves in us. A really touching piece of poetry! Brilliantly written. :)

  19. The memories that our loved ones leave behind for us are the real
    treasures later in life when we no longer have them around us. They
    give us a reason to smile and to live a life again. Very beautiful
    poem, Induji. Please do write more of these, they are as power packed as your posts :)
