Dying of the Light

Poems about life and death, love and heartbreak and mustering the courage to go on - despite it all.

Majority of this was written in 2020 and 2021 and hence is inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdowns, the mandates and the heavy toll it took on our mental health.
Having so much time to think about life led to a lot of existential angst - why are we here? and how do we come to terms with our ever-looming mortality? how do we grapple with the losses of people that we love? where do people go after they die? how do we cope with death?

In short, it is a collection about both the darkness and lightness of life - about the realities of this ever-changing world that we find ourselves in.

It was a way of coping for me in those long dark months - and I hope you will also find pieces of comfort and solace within these words - knowing that you are not alone, in your angst, in your worries, on your dark days.
