.......... i think the beatles said it much better :

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom , let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom , let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be

Accepting what IS and not dreaming and longing for something that is NOT is the best way out. Being bold and strong is the key virtue, without which you would be constantly suppressed and constrained.

Nice poem Dr. Sirosh.

Sirosh:

welcome!…moving haunting words…

rgds,

t

personal

ps: as a person in the field do you ever wonder why the sensory ‘arteries’ to pain and grief do not ‘harden’?…A sent met the straight for the heart you wrote…one of the most moving pieces I have read…and I recall I sent her a poem in reply…ask her, she may have saved it…

…think it was Abe Lincoln who wrote, ‘sorrows come to all, but to the young it comes with bitterest agony: we the elders have ever learnt to expect them’

…wish I could say something meaningful that would lessen your grief…show you hope…but all that I can think of seems trite and cliché ridden…things we have heard a thousand times before…things we nod and breeze past…

…please convey my love to A and tell her that yes am guilty of procrastination and that will redeem myself shortly.

If my heart mournfully cries,
My soul desperately wants,
The mind often tries,
But remains in haunts
Let it be ...

great poem Sirosh!

the most wonderful part of poetry is that it helps you express what you feel. nothing is good if it does not touch your own heart ... public opinion is just a formality.

Someone here said that beatles said it better... all my sympathy goes to the foolish mind that thinks poetry of one can be compared to another (let alone the z rated quality of the quoted stanza)

happy writing! and welcome to chowk with one final word of advice... just be yourself and let people see and value that, nothing less should do!

lol

Hi SIR,

What`s up? I too feel after reading your inspiring poem, I know you. Hope, things have been great and many congratulations for countless success in personal and professional fronts. Just my thoughts on Love and Hate, love seems an irreversible process. It goes in one direction and hate does follow both paths. Sometime unchanged in the course of life and sometime.... Anyway, let not preach hate in this mighty world of status...

Peace and my best wishes (always)
J


PS: Btw, it turned out very true..

Sorry Temporal for not getting back earlier. Yes it makes one wonder why we never get immune to pain and grief. A lot of people told me that time is the best healer and as time went by I found out that they were wrong; time only deepens and worsens the pain. It`s as if you are missing a vital part of your body.

Thanks again for your support.

Sirosh

P.S: I passed on your message.
