Adieu

Blessing in letting go !

Don't think I will know

You went away a little farther

Every time you bid Adieu 

Ambers will cool slowly

Steady will be beating heart

Not the pain for cowardly

Takes time to feel apart

Heart cries less each separation

Breathing has gotten better

Smoothness at each serration

Pain felt subsides later

Feeling of doom gone

Future no longer bleak

Ready to sing new song

The cracks no longer creak

Can't leap memories' mound

Fog of thoughts harsh, not kind

Go on, don't let the past hound

You left nothing here behind

May you too find joy abound

In future that you find

Don't rewind, I may not be around

No ropes to keep me bind 

Manjari

Destination

Who said it is only you and me

Show time passed, as others may see

Scars shine as deep, on earth as well

That beautify ageless face of thee

Those cracks in barks and rings of age

Hide truth undeciferable by any sage

Valleys so deep, mind can't fathom

Secrets are locked at bottom beige

Can't see the end from where it starts
Nor can fathom beauty impart

Illusion of sky just getting lost

Such is the majesty of crevices dark

Changing its colors from day to night

Are mysteries revealed only when bright?

Or secrets hidden display with time
No matter shallows or heavenly heights

Canyons so Grand, a wondrous place

Memories of eras bound to a space

Persisting waters ever so soft
Chiseling it's art in earth's carapace

They beckon me back again and again

Without them my life looks merely plain

Not just physical but spiritual whole
My soul's destination without fail

Manjari
