A Fistful Of Stars: What Makes Me Wait?
I'm angry with none
But happy with some
Anger takes me nowhere
But happiness eludes
Hariharan Balakrishnan's poem considers the reason for human existence.
I have no more deadlines to keep
No more targets to meet
No one to meet, not even one
Bliss awaits to be at peace
I'm angry with none
But happy with some
Anger takes me nowhere
But happiness eludes
I see the smile
On a cherub's face
And smile in turn
To be rewarded soon
I wait for no man
Nor a woman
Beast or ghost
Have no use for me
I waited a lifetime
In Eternal Time
I waited in vain, but why?
Cherub's smile lingers, as does Time
What makes me wait?
For whom on earth?
Why does Time linger?
Why?
