An Elegy To Myself !

Is it OK if I ask you to forget me forever ...?

Is it OK if I ask you to delete me from your memory ?

Is it OK if I request you to wipe your tears for now ?

Yes ...want to slip in to time's oblivion ...

Like a twisting and twirling leaf falling in Fall !

To reunite ... with the earth and sky ...with the sun and the moon ..

And with the countless stars ...the breeze and the phrase !

Dreaming about losing myself in to the past sense !

I am the person who wrote her own elegy !

Past is the prelude and future is The End !

In between is present... with a life's feelings !!

A void of present ... nothingness of me ?

But ...but the main content ...yet to reveal ,

Is it an illusory foregone conclusion ?

Or a wish for omnipresence with the time ?

Still to realize !...there the glares of darkness ...

Yes ..a ray of hope ...that is Rebirth !

Oh ..no , nappies and nipples ,toothless smiles ?!

Apple cheeks and youthful cheers ..

Wow! again for me ?! Love to die ... wish to die

Yes ,to live again ...to love again ! Love to die !

To be with you again and again my dear friend! ---seetha

Want to slip in to times oblivion / a twisting and twirling leaf falling in Fall / the breeze and the phrase / ---these are not simple phrases seetha . Extraordinary philosophical meanings associated with these lines .

Nothingness of me/ Illusory foregone conclusion/ omnipresence with the time / glares of darkness --- these are conceptual units , consisting very meaningful phrases , vast knowledge needed to understand these , it shows your authority over language .
But Seetha, you mixed pessimism and humor and that combination has given an unusual look to this Elegy .
Great piece of writing . 👏👏👏
