Words on the wind
Anita Rajendran-See 1974 (Singapore)
Death and grief on my mind
Wherever I go, whomever I see
The hands winding down
Sublime calls, transcendence awakes
The soul I call to, can't ever hear
Wandering my heart tires and respite seeks
The river flows, the soul hurts
Depths unfathomed cries unheard.
About this poem
My mom passed away a few months ago and this is my grief talking.
