Smile........

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

Divinity from afar,
Never perceived or thought of,
Merely the truest wish,
An unanswered prayer of this heart;

What was never contemplated,
Has now become,
The mind's only meditation,
What was unfathomed,
Has now turned into,
The soul's sole desire ;

And the two parted vines of destinies,
Are finally intertwined,
Do you know what that means my seer?
Perhaps you still need to realise,
If a thorn pricks you,
I feel the pain,
If your think of aching thoughts,
Tumult rises in my mind,
If you get an urge to cry,
Tears emerge in my eyes;
Such is the dwelling,
Of my soul in you
And of your soul in mine,
So my beloved,
Smile,
If you really want me to smile.........
