TEARS


Tears:
A mystic transformation 
Of 
Concealed aches 
That 
Mourn in silence 
The 
Afflictions of heart
In
Diamond shapes!

A jar of water washed
Away my past regrets
Afflictions put to rest 
Ashamed no more am I
And when the clock strikes twelve
Awake, my soul, to greet
Another birth of me...

Are the reason


That


Humanity’s fierce river of afflictions 
 
Overflows!

In bulging globes like sapphires strung,
A woeful moaning song is sung.
They flow like brooks.
Mysterious deep afflictions
Swim inside the wet reflections
Of this child's looks....

But

Tolerating Man-made suffering without a fight is cowardice!

No matter how long the way

The soul of the virtuous is never tired of walking

On the path of enlightenment

Regardless

Into your boat I found myself venturing, oh life

Rowing against the currents of your afflictions

Many times I thought you wished me to drown

Though you desired to forge my convictions!

True love, 
Like gold,
It is never eroded with 
The passing of the
Years

BUT

Forever shines 
In our yearning for 
Affection hearts,
Despite the afflictions
Of TIME!

In this cruel world, everywhere is the law
and I have been hurled, human kind made a flaw
the convictions, the afflictions, the harsh states of mind,
some are never in a bind, but to help some there's addictions
to help handle the afflictions
and to help some people unwind...

When we, oh life, even for once,

           A joyous experience you to be, we proclaim
                                  
                 All afflictions that to our way come

          Must accept and never put on God the blame!

Lord,
Make me understand better
Your divine plan,
Help me comprehend the reason
Of suffering, 
And let me have but a glimpse of
Your celestial wisdom
To reduce my injurious
Ignorance
And stop blaming you for each of
My afflictions.

Tell me, my Lord,

Is it true that seas and oceans, 

Created are by Thy tears 

Which 

Thee have shed, since the beginning
 
Of time 


For


All the suffering humanity has

endured

And

For all the afflictions of mine?

IF ONLY WE


LORD, 
Forgive our ignorance,
Each time 
We accuse THEE,
For the afflictions of
This world!


If only
We had knowledge of
THY divine plan,
Or 
Faith in our troubled 
Hearts,
We would never have 
Committed 
Such an appalling   
BLASPHEMY!
