Its time for the IMG Farewell again and like always, we people try to go beyond our capabilities and try our hand at creativity. This time I was asked to write a poem and I am happy that I was able to produce something from my heart, within the word limit imposed by the invitation creation team. Anyways have a look at the poem and let me know your views too about my first attempt at poetry:-
The end of the year beckons us ,
Asking to let you go,
As a bright new adventure awaits you,
Blossoming with fun, opportunities and success.
It has been a long journey together,
Caring, fighting and achieving.
You are no more an individual,
You are us and we are you.
We know the parting looms on the horizon,
And we cant hold you forever,
But letting go is not as easy as said,
It tears the heart apart to say goodbye.
We wish the best for you,
As you step into a new world.
Its time to bid you adios.
But we would rather say
Ver usted de nuevo
Cos we’ll meet again someday

In each line of this poem, I have tried to let the reader go into the depth of it, to understand its meaning and relish the feelings that the juniors have for the batch which is about to part from us. The line "ver usted de nuevo" created a lot of interest as many weren't able to comprehend it as it is a spanish line meaning "See you again" which was apt for my poem.
Also the line " you are no more an individual" came from the Gaia concept of Isaac Asimov and the general Group Theory that as you integrate into the group, you lose a part of your identity to become more than yourself, to become greater than an individual, to become a single entity called "IMG" in this case.
My favorite lines were "But letting go is not as easy as said, It tears the heart apart to say goodbye." as it really pains a lot to part from the seniors who have become an integral part of our lives.
So, I dedicate this poem to all my IMG seniors, I hope you like it. :)
PS: This poem is my another attempt at sentiyaap. IMG farewell is a long affair, more sentiyapa to come. :P
