It is hard to cope with the loss of your loved ones. You have to wait until time heals it. The waiting for the healing is not a smooth one. You are often burdened with the thoughts of what the reasons could be that you were chosen for this loss, even though , deeper down, you know that you were never at fault, and that destiny or fate, whose reins are held by none other than The Almighty, is the reason behind it. It’s His time that fixes the time for each one of us in this world. There is no escape other than to just think that you have the best yet to come to you. And as certain faiths believe, that ultimate joy and peace lies in the Hereafter, for which you need a lot of workup. When you know what you have undergone is ultimately going to be part of that workup, you tend to be at peace!
Memories that define you;
Memories that caress you;
Memories that console you;
Memories that would never fail you!
Memories that defy you;
Memories that confine you;
Memories that confuse you;
Memories that could kill you!
The whimpers that keep you blank;
The whispers that fog you;
The mind that wanders without an answer;
You are, the wary wanderer, who needs some rest!
The paths that had chosen you;
Them! They fell heavy on you!
You were in a maze; hard to find ways!
The same paths, they blossomed you;
But, you never knew!
The maze that had confused you;
Not a maze anymore!
The blossom that you bloomed into,
Will stay, to brighten you!
The darkness that had blinded you,
Had the moon smiling at you!
The paths, that now, you would choose,
Will have, The Gardens waiting for you!
Memories here are of the loved ones- both good and bad. The bad refers to the sufferings and difficulties they had to endeavor…..their battles….. fought with valor and encountered with success, each time, to fall again and fight again. The witness here is always the people most close to this person and it is them who have to deal with these conflicting memories. They take time to realize that it was God Almighty’s way of strengthening them and making them the most dear to Him. And once it is realized, they turn out to be, not losers but winners!
