Distance

Let there be some distance As day is far from the night Brother from the enemy, False from the truth Freedom from the captivity! Don't come so close Where there’s only compassion, The world of imagination, Which is unreal, Improper! Don't come so close Where the eyes are flooded with rain The mind is burdened with memories, Where grief seems to be yours Darkness seems to be yours! Keep some distance From mind to mind Eye to eye, From gesture to gesture From thought to thought! Then life will be beautiful Survival will be beautiful Flood-free, Stormless No famine! There will be no neglect No wet eyes, There will be no arrogance Or rejection! There will be no sad departure, There will be no separation, There will be no burnt relatives in the middle of the body, No funeral arrangements among living people! But still is it possible to stay away? Is it possible to be alone if you want? Someone comes in the rules of the world Forgetting the distance and coming closer,affection! Still can we stay away?
