Aware

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

If I can let you go,
I can let it all go.
You who have carried me,
Through the ages
And loved a soul I don’t know I have.
You have seen me
Through word and pain
And there and back
And there and back again.
If I can let you go
And bear such mighty despair,
Your strength is now my name,
For, in letting go,
You have made me very aware.

Show and Tell

Covid decimates the body

Love decimates the heart

So, they are allied.

Covid shows

People can never be vaccum;

Love shows

The heart is indefatigable.

They both prove to you

The strength you actually have

Surpassing that of your own hope.

I couldn’t dress you,

The way you wanted to shine.

I couldn’t touch you,

I couldn’t do your hair up fine.

We spoke of death and love,

Before you were taken away,

I really did all I could;

But oxygen blew you away.

You were my only Father!

Of all in the family, beloved you!

You’re left now, with all the rest,

My home, my childhood, my truth.
