Aniruddha Pathak Poet Free verse

O Pain, Grief, and Suffering

Now that you’re with me, be my guest—
Like me a life-long traveller,
Enjoy night-long welcome and rest,
Tomorrow, let’s leave together.

You may go to your way, I mine
To be a bird rare that may call
And never heard by hearts that pine,
Oh to fall lifeless by next fall.

Unleash your worst of sting, feel free,
I’d bear all, night-long you unfold,
No pain conquers me so easy,
Traveller I’m of a tough mould.

So, O pain, grief, and suffering,
Be my guest and a night long king,
Ready to leave by the morning,
You scarce for long to me can cling.

Let by dawn all aches feel amiss,
By nature joy am I and bliss.

Poet’s Note: Every soul by nature is sat-chit-ananda—joy and bliss, and pain has no permanent place. Soul is a constant traveller.
