Loneliness
Loneliness...!
Loneliness - the one that visits you in the womb,
keeps you accompanied, well past your tomb!
Brace yourself to that friend - once and forever,
shying away from it, you should attempt - never!
Meet her with elan and meet her with grace,
meet her with silence 'n' calm with a smiling face!
Remember, all those who came along were alone,
and those who come across, for sure are - alone!
We fail to take note and ignore that lifelong mate,
attempting to gain knowledge and chart our fate!
In this competitive world, we rush in to compete;
survival of the fittest and chaotic madness replete.
Surrendered single status to club oneself with one;
find oneself asunder with desire one's own none!
Running amok from pillar to post - none to pay heed,
groping in lonesome dark, only ruminating all deed!
Change of status, from spouse to parent and beyond;
yet, deep inside in loneliness - that incessantly hound!
Spot-on with her, the one 'n' only all weather friend,
with all time to spare and broad shoulder to depend!
Search for ancient wisdom in books or a wise Seer,
to steer through the course, though himself a wayfarer!
Discrimination, judgement and decisiveness imparted,
set to roll within - find anxieties and sadness departed!
Home-in further within deeply and look nowhere else,
in solitary contemplation - a state of thoughtful trance!
Seeking higher knowledge on that 'One Absolute Truth',
finding which, none comparable, will ever internally soothe!
Awaken and realise in that deep abyss of lonesomeness;
envelopes in entirety, with a sense of wholesomeness!
