Master time, the greatest healer!

Knocked on doors of my yearning soul,

Asked why agony has tainted me foul?

Said, with a single touch, I can heal,

If you follow me, make a solemn deal,

I can mark you with a happiness seal.

I thanked time for the grandest offer,

I said, for now, kindly let me suffer.

My pain for her is as vast as the ocean,

Let me drown for now in her emotions.

And you by my side is a good relief,

But I am not ready yet, to give up grief!

Lady sleep, the greatest consoler!

Knocked on doors of my yearning soul,

Asked why agony has tainted me foul?

Said, I offer solace, sleep on my lap,

Come dear; it’s been long; take a nap.

I said, only if I can see her in my dreams,

Or let me be restless, wail and scream!

Said, why consumed with such worries,

Don’t hold too long on sad memories.

I said, good ones packed safe in heart,

But the bad ones never quickly depart,

Sinks deep inside, becomes a sad part!

In the court of grief, they are my subjects,

Today their presents, I have to reject.

My sufferings for my mother is not pride,

But I want to feel it raw, don’t wish to hide.

And I know someday I can’t beg to differ,

I have to understand and accept their offer!
