I shall be patient, Meera...!!

Dear Pride,
Now you can accept the plight
and try to stoop, to kiss the earth.
The ground is wet, the weather is fine
And you will be at ease;
You can lose today
For a gain later, be patient.

Dear Strength,
Now you can lighten your hands,
where pain tremor you the most-
while clutching the slightest weight
You can lose today
For a gain later, be patient.

Dear Ears,
Now you can passionately go off
With the fuelling chanting-
of cut throat facts and dusty prejudices.
All in the same sweet venom – words.
You can lose today
For a gain later, be patient.

Dear Sight,
Now you can silently burn-
the colours of the amended truth
The dancing wind that blinds you-
is a mirage, it cannot sustain
You can lose today
For a gain later, be patient.

Dear Mind,
Now you can consume the thought-
and ooze them out with pleasure-
as hot as you can.
Then digest the inward time in you-
to gallop through your own peace
You can lose today
For a gain later, be patient.

Meera,
Now you are too much a burden
For me to carry all the way
But I can lose today
For a gain later, and I’ll be patient for ever!!
