Hand In Hand

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPoemTags:, , , , ,

I have written this poem in response to W3 prompt #47 at skepticskaddish.com, hosted by poet of the week, Punam Sharma. The guidelines are to write a Pantoum on the theme of abandonment. Additional information about a Pantoum and the prompt can be found here. Hope I got it right!

Where you and I walk hand in hand;
The circumambient energy shifts;
Mystical aura exudes from land;
The universal vibration lifts.

The circumambient energy shifts;
As you release your final breath;
The universal vibration lifts;
In realization of your death.

As you release your final breath;
I emit a guttural moan;
In realization of your death;
I find I am all alone.

I emit a guttural moan;
For you’ve abandoned me;
I find I am all alone;
You’re in a place of mystery.

For you’ve abandoned me;
In my years of old;
You’re in a place of mystery;
And I’ll join you soon, I’m told.

In my years of old;
Mystical aura exudes from land;
And I’ll join you soon, I’m told;
Where you and I walk hand in hand.

  3. Jennifer – this is amazing. I was actually also contemplating writing a pantoum about how a loved one’s death is a form of abandonment…

    Also, you taught me a new word!

  10. Beautifully stated in a way that is universally felt but hard to describe. You accomplished to describe it all in a manner in which we can’t, but we all can relate.
