So heart touching. When I needed strength in foreign land I thought of him. I tend to think he merged into me with all of his love and strength.
Either of it can happen! The death of a father or mother is not something easy to cope up with! It is always painful! I am sure you have experienced the intensity of pain over such a happening!
as individuals we just cry and then move on after they die
Strange and mystical bond. Life travels so, live in your child. and die a bit with someone's death and someone's breath. nice poem
Death of father gives pain. We feel agony and sorrow in his separation. Part of life when this is lost we cannot tolerate easily. Sadness acquires place in mind for long time. Still father remains in memory. An emotional poem is brilliantly penned...10
Thank you so much. Perhaps the pain never entirely leaves, but it becomes something we can at least manage.
M.J., when my father died, I felt remorse. The wrongdoing being not making enough of an effort with meaningful communication. Ironically, the poems that I've written about him seem to suggest that that communication did indeed exist. As did the love. You and some other PH poets have helped me come to that realization. Thank you so very much!
Recently i found that my close friends mother passed away and i really feel that lost feeling, i couldnt imagine what my friend feels..its painful for sure, but then we realize that nothing is living forever, so us as well one day..when we lost them, we should still living with the value n things that they keep inside us...and we will always not far away, if it just distance well it is better than losing them far from our emembrance. Hope u be calm my dear Mark....
So well said, Soul. And this poem was in fact for friend who is going through some of what you suggest. Thank you so much, Soul.
No, I can't withdraw. We have to proceed inspite of all adverse situations and sorrows. A thought provoking poem in its compactness and precision
