Lonely and Abandoned?
One morning this week, I woke up to find a special text message on my phone.
“Hi Ashwita,
Why the soul does so feel abandoned,
Why, again and again, taunted by lonely despair
Why do the tears dry into a shriveling, deep within
Heal the soul, hear the call
Help the beauty emerge,… oh please do!”
And as I was still groggily trying to make sense of what I was reading, the answer automatically flowed. Of course, here’s a slightly edited version, there were a few rough edges in the original.
Far away from the ocean,
Feel so miserable, incomplete?
Why, as it quivers
In the light of the sun,
Does it weep alone in the heat?
If only it knew,
It was only a matter of time
If only it knew,
That every time the sun shines
The heat has it vaporize,
Sending it closer to the skies.
May you remember,
When you feel like you are fading
That you are only just
Evaporating.
No body comes to help,
Because it is your destiny to disappear
Lose yourself completely,
Although it may be exactly what you fear.
You are meant to rise, meet the skies,
Only to then fall back down,
Plunge into the ocean, once again,
Until all of you has drowned.
You’re going back home, little one,
Yes, you’re just going back home,
And only when you’re there, will you realise
There was never, ever such a thing as ‘alone’.
