Today I bleed because I choose to bleed,
To weep with not much thought to reason,
Bathing alone in nothingness and anonymity,
I willfully submit myself to angst.
To experience something, I need to embrace nothing,
And in it discover that all these are not for naught,
I open my eyes towards darkness, not to see
the light, but to know that my eyes can be opened.
I allowed the rain to fall down on me today,
And refused to succumb to its why’s and how’s,
I stood there, feeling, communing, just being,
For once, it questioned, and not the other way around.
Barraged by wanton honesty, Clarity,
Cutting me into so many pieces, I knew,
I must be still, be still, and let it be,
I cried without a tear falling –
but the rain did that for me.
Come! See! Feel! My testament,
Not for your amazement but for your cross,
I invite you as I am invited, the rain,
caressed as a much-needed Benevolence.
