Flight to Freedom
by Tagore
 

My love, my heart
Let this time of parting be sweet
Let it not be a death, but completeness

Let your love melt into memory
And your pain into songs
Let your flight through the sky
Begin with the unfolding of wings

Let the last touch of your hands
Be gentle like the flower of the night
Stand still, oh beautiful love for a moment
And say your last words in silence
I bow to you and hold up my candle
To give light to you. on your flight to freedom

"Don't be ashamed of tears,
The earth's tears keep her flowers blooming."
-Tagore
