This Too Shall Pass

...An ode to the hard times

Days when I wake up,

I wish I couldn't have.

Nights when I can't sleep,

I wish, I could have. 

The days seem longer 

The nights so short. 

So much in the head, 

Lots in heart, 

People to listen, 

People to laugh,

But hardly anyone 

Who can feel my loss. 

 I wait for dawn 

To smile a little, 

I wait for night 

To sob with an open heart.

And there's a voice,

Not loud, nor harsh 

That whispers amidst silence 

Often for hours, 

Like an angel from afar, 

"Don't be disheartened, 

Don't breath in, so deep 

These loss, 

Smile a little, 

try giggling A lot. 

I know it's hard, 

I know it's hard 

But smiling sometimes 

Heals all scars."  

"You worked a lot, 

You wept a lot, 

I know, 

I know  

You worked a lot. 

All this work, 

all these sweat, 

You've shed with all you heart 

But sigh* , you've still, still lost a lot." 

Wipe off your tears 

Meet this world 

You've imprisoned you, 

In yourself so much this far. 

It's time to smile, 

And stop breathing a word 

About your loss 

There are many suffering,

They suffer a lot. 

start working bravely, 

Like you've never smelt loss. 

Forget these worries, 

Forget the pain, 

Forget all the doubts 

You have in your brain. 

Remember, remember, 

It's all a part, 

A part of a grand game, 

of this world.

No need to worry 

And don't feel shame

We learn from mistakes, 

We all are the same. 

The more the struggles, 

The more is the loss, 

But once you remember, 

"You're greater, happier,  

And a braver heart. 

These pains, 

Are  just a scar! 

That sure are a creature 

Creature, of some hours.  

Stay calm, 

Stay cool, 

Don't lose your heart 

This too shall pass 

This too, shall pass.

I like the way you've crafted this to sound like a conversation that a person might have with him/herself. We often argue with ourselves, expressing the tension between our "upbeat" inner self & the other one who is deeply wounded by so much of life. You've showed us these aspects of how it feels without excess drama . . . stated rather dispassionately, in fact, which I prefer becuz life is what it is. We get dealt the cards we have & sometimes our dramatic responses to life are worse than what has actually been experienced in life. Good advice given gently & with relatable examples (((HUGS)))

Thankyou so much, dear Margie😊
I'm really glad you liked it.

Very well written Saumya. I liked the way you narrated the conversation we have between our mind, heart and soul.

A small correction- a typing mistake i guess:

You wrote:

"Remember, remember My kid,
It's all a a part,"

It should be:

"Remember, remember My kid,
It's all a part,"

Regards,
Anjali

[Saumya]

Like the poem, love the title, which seems to me to be almost biblical !

[Saumya]

ThankYou so much!😊

[Paul Bell]

No struggle, no loss, no life. Life is what it is. You've got to live it. We gain strength from adversity.
Helps us on lives great journey.

[Saumya]

Exactly! I agree with you Paul 😊
They who do nothing for themselves in the phase of adversity...Get nothing from life.
We gotta go through and get strong with adversity, as iron goes through fire to transform into steel :)It indeed is the phase of fire, and our actions in that phase, which makes us wiser, and stronger, and we're obviously the same dull person anymore! Bad times often holds good and great lessons for life.

Thankyou for sharing your insightful words, Paul😊

this is absolutely beautiful, the expression you've managed to put up with few knitted words via simplicity is amazing. :)

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much, Gaurangi😊

[heartspeaks]

I am so glad i could read this... This struck straight through my heart... I know this feeling very well and hope is the most delicate thing which once lost is very hard to regain... The emotion through your poem makes it feel less like a poem and more of my thoughts I am going through something like this...This boosted me dear one .... I am obliged .. Great work . Keep writing...

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much😊 if a write-up can be felt by the reader exactly the same, half or even mote than what the writer felt, during writing, the writing becomes worth writing 😊
I'm so glad that you could relate with the write-up to such an extent.

Thank you for posting the poem for us to read. It was a pleasure. The lines connects very tightly to each other. And every line provides wisdom and guidance in life. I usually foresee poetry as a way of expressing sadness, but your poem really conveys optimism, love, happiness, and determination. It's very inspiring to read it. You seem to choose the right words. And I can see that you put a lot of effort writing. It came out from your heart and that's a something poets and writers should have in them.
Thank you again for sharing.

Rachid

[Saumya]

a fight among st all our senses ,our mid says one thing and our heart says another,only time will heal a broken heart

[Saumya]

Exactly! Truly stated Ron😊
I like the way you short review are sometimes so deep...Thankyou for sharing your thoughts.😊

[kingblaq]

The 'random' works of poetry are usually the best because of the rawness of the emotions n their personal feel.
I read this to myself three times. I love the dialogue. I love the conflict. And I can definitely relate with the speaker when they say
"...People to listen,
People to laugh,
But hardly anyone
Who can feel my loss..."

I like the emotions. Above all I love the repetition at the end of the piece, feels like a chant, like the speaker is trying to convince themselves.

I love your talent. Thanks for sharing this piece of you.
WRITE ON!!
