Stillness - A Poem by Shilpi

Stillness – beginning of a new journey,

Or solemnly marking an end?

Time to leave behind a part of life,
Or to keep the memories penned?

To keep reliving the good times
Or for some time – to let them go?
To make space for new experiences,
Or to let your emotions flow?

To think what it all meant,

Or to allow time to tell.

To think what lies ahead,

Or to retreat into your shell?

 

Sometimes life moves from one phase to another,
Allowing no time to look back or recap,
Sometimes it demarcates the phases,
Allows stillness to fill the gap.
