A Poem : Slip Away

There would be times when we had to go through the hardest phase in our life in order to evolve into an individual attributed with higher level of maturity. And most of the time, this phase doesn't merely happen once. It's on our replay list all the time without us knowing how to be numb. But I guess, instead of wondering why, it's always a perfect way for us to learn to be wise. 

So I wrote a poem about letting go.

The wind blows, a whisper

would bring us hope

Calm is the sea,

Gentle is the kiss of the wave on the ocean

but the sea-bird, struck by lightning

could there be a bright summer day?

without a storm 

breaking the dawn.

You and I are destined

to be inseparable

You and I,

nights and days, darkness and stars, love and wound,

pleasure and pain.

But what if they told us,

that's one last chance to feel alive?

That day when the wind blows again,

leaves are falling,

Have they just died

Fighting to stay intact

So go grab them by the hand

Hold them tight, don't let them touch the ground

Just to know that

Have they just died

Twice.

Darling, you killed them

Little did you know

The tighter you hold onto

The more misery you put them to

It reminds me of you,

the pain that consumes your heart.

Falling leaves, frail and crumbled

Let them slip away

Let your heart heal and be set free

For some answers need no grasp

A storm knows no limit

A broken song sung on a colossal stage

But at least,

you and I now know how to rhyme.
