Analysis of A Consolation Message From the Departed

Do not fret and blindly stare
as if your life has suddenly come
to a halt,
thinking too much…
and even wondering
whether in some unknown manner,
it is your fault.

Life certainly has its ups and downs.
The road is always curving, never straight.
Your task while here…
is simply not to scowl or frown.
Just keep on smiling, friends…
before it is too late and, while waiting,
make your just  amends.

THE DEPARTED ONE:

And as for me, your friend,
your lifetime partner,
who once walked this earth
in tandem, right beside you,
I’ve moved to somewhere else,
to greener pastures…
My everlasting place of berth.

So, do not sit and mope
at what you fear is my demise.
Do not think there is no hope,
or whine, or pine, or close your eyes.
For, ever shining like the sun,
You and I, and everyone else,
again shall surely rise.
