It’s not easy to let go.
What you hold so close.
That’s risen from your heart
Germinated from your soul.
The one you fiercely guarded
The one you hide within
The one that swallows you whole
The one that consumes like sin
The one that awakens,
The one that leads your dreams.
The one that fills you to the brim ,
Till you burst out of your seams
The one that has become you,
The one that you’ve become.
That which rules your subconscious,
That’s become your total sum.
The one that chooses to leave,
The one you still won’t let go,
The one that breaks you into two,
Whilst knotted in your core.
So why should I allow it
To abandon me at will?
Even if it chooses to leave.
I will cradle inside me still.

- My family really doesn’t know what they are missing. It’s not as though I didn’t try. The plan was for all four of us to come here but, the first hurdle was to align dates of four people living in the same house under the same surname, probably as difficult as achieving celestial harmony where Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn align. (The next such alignment is due on 25th January 2025, make a note, must watch!)

Read it again. Quite surprisingly for me. I’m not such a poetry person. Reminds me of our love for our children. Also as I’m writing this, it comes to me that only a woman can feel like this…..that you can express it is magic.
Kamalini
Yes. It does. And any kind of love. Thanku so much.

Love for one’s child is everlasting but he/she has to fly away from the nest one day to test their wings. They will always come back to mother bird when they feel necessary.
