Don't even cry!

Oh, I shall go, as so many have gone,
Who knows what destiny is holding for us?!
For nothing I would ask you me reproach,
Instead don't grieve for me, don't even cry.
I followed wind and rain in their wake,
Shared grief with willows as they weep,
If I have failed and couldn’t cope with gale,
If I have failed, succumbed to ill-starred reefs,
Oh then I doubt you'll await me back,
So, please, do not disturb this lonesome willow,
Don’t let your eyes fill with the tears so sad,
Don’t wonder why the rain is crying, for what reason.
Oh I shall go, as so many have gone,
Who knows what destiny is holding for us?!
For nothing I would ask you me reproach,
The rain will grieve for me instead, don't even cry…

About this poem:
Translation from a Georgian poet.
In remembrance of a friend of mine who several years ago succumbed to a deadly disease and the indifference of man she loved more than her life!

interesting title.... well-said about the grieving rain... the perception of rain is in the eyes of the beholder... I always love the drizzles, it's very soothing and calming for me... whatever mood I'm in....

Thanks for sharing ;)

Crying is something unique to the human experience. I have had people I have known die, but I was never close enough to them to ever want to cry. I figured they were in heaven and in a good place, so tears were unnecessary.crying easter bonnet
