Unburdening of Soul

Yesterday when all the love songs

made me cry,

dramatizing the missing love

from my life,

the never have-beens.

I hide.

I didn’t want them to see

tears in my eyes.

So, I cried alone,

with head bowed

pretending to read.

Sometimes cloaking my sorrows to sleep.

But the ache in my heart

was too much to bear.

Though many have held my hand,

in the end, I was all alone,

limited by conditioned love-

a burden on my soul.

Then I found my Self, in love with You.

It gave me wings.

I break the meaningless promises to the world,

I leave the alleys of alone-ness and grief.

Effortlessly.

Your unconditional love

lights my life.

I still cry

but now over the lifetimes of separation

that parted my being from the wholeness of You,

that reminisces the past lives

spent without you.

My soul carries your trace.

I see you in the blood moon’s shape

and the flame of smoldering sun.

Seeing you in faces amidst crowds

and the solitude’s shroud,

I cry;

overwhelmed by your compassion and grace.

I feel Your presence.

I am where i need to be.

Unashamed of my tears

that brim my eyes fearlessly.

I cry.

I cry in love.
