Distancing from the kin
a kind of relinquishing
from the ties, almost
similar to the clouds
that fall apart, scatter
after enacting a drama
where their congregation
being intense predicts
heavy rain, finally
there be a few droplets.
Relationships, filial, sibling,
matrimonial . whatever they be
have to end at one level
cannot go on like a long train
with several carriages, puffing
and dragging. Long associations
demand great expectations
which lead to a derailment.
Keeping this in mind
a withdrawal, steady
and gradual, more so
like the deaddiction
program, will ensure
a consistent, healthy
outlook of life, going
with the maxim absence
makes the heart grow
fonder.
