Beyond all islands [Island Part III]

This is the final post of a three part series, the first being 'Please take me to my island' and the second 'I didn't listen and now I drown'. Read on....


Soon I could hear no sound
I couldn’t hear my screams
I felt so helpless I couldn’t breathe
No more could I feel my heart beat

‘Your struggle is over’, said my soul
‘Don’t be worried anymore
‘It was I who was dragging you down
‘Its time now for me to go…’


Alarmed I looked at my reflection,
‘How can you go if you are my soul?
‘You are all I believe in
‘Without you I have no hope’

‘Hope is what’s killing you my dearest
‘And you have to let it go
‘But as you and I are one, I know
‘You’ll rather die than let it go’

‘Don’t do this to me my soul
‘How do I choose between you and hope?
‘You have no choice my dearest
‘It’s time now for me to go’

‘You have to learn to let go of hope
‘You have to learn to live
‘Move through the journey called life
‘If you can’t feel there will be no pain’

That was the day hope left me
The day I lost my soul
‘Where are you going?’, I asked my reflection
‘Beyond all islands into the unknown’

You are really good at this, I think u certainly can become a poet or a writer of some sought..

For me its all heavy to make sense of it the very first time. Don't worry I ain't gone articulate this, like last time....

Hmmm.. you mentioned that this the final third part.. what is the climax, what do you want to convey??

Anyways, I am too lazy to be updating my own blog..

It was a great journey that you took me through... From hope, all bright to the hopeless depths of the dark sea.

Guess this wasn't your story, and wish so too.
