For the death of our loved ones…


An English Sonnet

 

Farewell to you for those which throbs is dead

Blow out the candles when be a fire bright

Flames must turn to ashes in quiet ways’ dread

While the winged messenger prepares the flight.

 

Join the chorus for ancient songs I hear

Bodies perish and souls shall arise once

Seeking refuge in shared dust, mud and tear

Lie the remnants where skies fade into crux.

 

Come sail with me as weary ships await

Home-cheering sails where land fog dissipates

Leave your vessel, here stands a spoken fate

Truly life granted by whom that creates.

 

Goodbye beloved, a new place beguiles

Beckoning surrender, repose and smiles.

as i have lost someone just last year, this work really resonated. departure is painful, separation is agony, but 'Truly life granted by whom that creates.' Life, let it be one big celebration. for we are here, and while misery may accompany us at times, there is so much more.

A beautifully crafted elegy that offers a poignant and evocative meditation on loss and the journey beyond. The closing lines, with their promise of a new place "beckoning surrender, repose and smiles," offer a comforting vision of peace and acceptance; suggesting that the end is not to be feared but embraced as a natural part of the cycle of existence. Thanks for sharing with us dear Sami 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

So hard to say goodbye to our dearest. While we pray that they are on a journey to eternal rest, we are left in the quagmire of grief. How difficult that is to navigate. Time softens the grief, but the loss never goes. Another superb sonnet Sami.

The departure of life onto the next realm that awaits the soul. It is never easy to say goodbye in life or when death occurs.

I thought of King Arthur’s death sent to sea on a boat, it just had that old worldly charm. Lovely read Sami, hats off to you.

We are always told time heals all. I beg to differ; time just allows the wound to heal and then we live the rest of our lives with the scar of loss and longing. Well done as always.

Losing someone carries the grieving away too. So difficult to find land again until one learns to let them go. Beautiful write, Sami:)

Saying goodbye to a loved one is so so sad and sometimes tragic.... but it's also a way of closure, a time to mourn , then a time to celebrate one's life, a happy occasion for all who loved...your words are very sentimental and your memories will be the same forever....beautiful tribute!
Warmly, B
