Peace, My Heart by Rabindranath Tagore
Sharing a clip from Deepak Chopra's A Gift of Love II, Oceans of Ecstasy, featuring the poems of Rabindranath Tagore.
The Gardener LXI: Peace, My Heart’ by Rabindranath Tagore is a poem filled with beautiful images depicting death as something one should accept.
The first lines begin by addressing the heart and the nature of death. It’s inevitable, therefore not worth worrying about.
Rather than fighting it, one could enter into it like a bird or a flower, with the “folding of the wings.”
The poem engages with themes of life, death, and nature.
These three themes are easily linked to one another, creating an image of life in its entirety and how death touches everything and everyone.
The birds and flowers encounter death just as human beings do. The poet uses them as examples of how peaceful, still, and silent death can be.
