You have been quietly bearing with
My absence
When you needed me to be around
I did not want to hear any sound
I closed my room and all the windows
The seeds do have to harvested now
Even if one does not realize,
What one really sows
That’s how we suffer
When we learn
That we caused pain to those
Whose dreams were in our prayers
Why has the cloud suddenly burst
Why has the spring closed its fist
Do not stand at the door
Come in and sit
Do not look for all the signs
Of the wasted tears
That have been flowing through the eyes
I had painted to capture your smiles
Now that you ask
What shall I say
What was the balance
Of the sins I committed and
The service I performed at the steps
Of your temple
Will one will square the other
I wish that were possible but that is
Not going to be
Do not stay bewildered
Accept my plight
And smile
Smile
After all there is always
Some light left to reflect
No matter how dark is the night
