The Spirit We Must Maintain

No worries Pal, Anyways,
Thanks for all good old days,
Now let’s part our ways ..,

Fasten the backpack once you
Stuff with food, love, clouds and rains …

Anything else you want too,
As much as you can,
Even the old dry piece of
"Childhood Sugercane"….!!

I am gonna go for the Yellow Stone,
You might wanna head towards
The Blue Ridge Mountains..;

Go far away, go climb the pink Zion cliff,
Lunge to take all the pains…

Lets Get dissimilated into five elements ,
As slowly as they grow, the grains …;

Lets free the souls from all the old stains ,
Humbly , yet with adequate disdain..,

The disdain we should upkeep,
The spirit we must maintain ..!!

Author's Note

A sense of departure with little or no hangover.

There are those times when we must walk another path and put the old behind us as we move on!
And with this, our companions might have the same desires - one goes to the north, another to the south, and so it goes. The best outcome is that the paths may cross again one day!
An interesting write with good rhyme!

There are times when we all need to let go of someone or something - I've always had trouble with this. Your poem spoke to me today. I'm glad I found it.

Childhood sugarcane... Hmm... I know what a sugarcane is but what do you mean by "childhood sugarcane"? That's an interesting and intriguing phrase. :)

[Anand Sehgal]

I hinted at a memento that a person carries for a long time. Even after the piece of sugarcane gets dried and gets hard, a kid remains possessive to it because it has been responsible for carrying a certain memory

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I get it now. Thank you for your intelligent response. :)

[Anand Sehgal]

my pleasure :)

Ah, a moving-on poem, a poem that reflects the necessary choices we need to make when wanting to move on. Love the line: Go far away, go climb the pink Zion cliff. Awesome!

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks a lot :) you're kind

[TL Boehm]

A fascinating poem. I have never been very good at "letting go" of things or people - this poem speaks to me - urges me to learn to let go

[Anand Sehgal]

No matter how strong the friendship or the love, there might come a time two people have to go their separate ways. Even if it is the right thing to do for both of them, it is a poignant time....a time of change which is never easy. "Let's free our souls from all the old stains" a wonderful attitude and if both parties are able to do just that, things are copasetic. Well written, Anand. Lydi**
