Leaving Home

Leaving Home

A Poem by















The sunlight warm had cast a charm ,
on my mind today
I could hear aloud and clear ,
please don't go away .

 

I looked around but none I found ,
save the oldest garden tree ,
it seemed somehow every outstretched bough ,
was waving back at me.

 

It pained my heart but I had to start ,
I opened the gate to go ,
every step I took I turned to look ,
my pace so very slow .

 

As I waved goodbye I heard a sigh ,
as wind blew through the grass
A helpless voice ,"I have no choice ,
you may pass you may pass".

Utterly enchanting and beautiful... I am struck speechless by the emotions in this poem. My eyes filled with tears as I came to the very end, which I must say was closed absolutely superbly. In truth, I was just blown away by the last two lines, without a doubt they left a gut-wrenching impact. There is no place like home. Nowhere better to be but in the one place that holds many of your fondest of memories. I love this piece, Abhijit. Amazingly written.

this rings back memories of childhood we were always moving never in one place and all my life I've been moving so I was touch by this piece I hope to one day to settle down some where I can call home and never leave.
Excellent write.

Nice. creative in a enchanting way with a hint of shortness and punctuations not to bad.

An excellent poem. It eschews the pretension of a lot of the poetry that we read on this site. I hope others read it and realise that a simple tale of simple emotion can be tied to deeper thought and still be put into a picture that one can all see. And it is this tying together that makes the reader pause and think.
No need here for a chain of abstract thoughts that really only the writer can understand.
Three cheers for you.

Ah! beautiful! So beautifully have you captured the sentiments that appear when we have to leave some place or some body that we so much are attached with!

The poem is so emotional! It rhymes beautifully, as well.

Really loved it. This poem would be an inspiration for me. Thanks for sharing.

I remember how it felt to leave home when I was young, and you've captured that feeling very well. Yes, I even wanted to wave goodby to the trees and grass.

A really beautiful poem… It's sad, and I think all of us have to go through it some time or another. Great job.
