Who is there now,
To mend this breaking heart?
To cherish and to hold,
Every weeping part.
This world gave me pleasure,
This world gave me grief,
But I only found comfort
Surrendering myself at His feet.
I keep trying to direct my sail
But when the wind blows,
And the tides are rough,
It’s me who struggles to bail.
I can no longer take the pain
When things don’t go my way,
But then I’m reminded,
“Dear child this is all I’ve been trying to say.”
But how do I stop worrying,
And questioning my uncalm?
“Remove your ‘self’
And sit in my darbaar.”
All I did was try to act on
Your word,
But look where it took me;
A place I had only heard.
It’s dark and so far,
I didn’t even see myself
Straying away, apart.
“It is okay my dear,
This is all part of your journey,
Just remember next time
The unsettled churning.
I am always present,
Within each and every heart.
In the space that surrounds you,
Near and far.
Some are unaware,
Some are broken;
Just be understanding,
And remember it’s their mere ignorance.
When everything is right,
You will know.
Until then,
Keep your heart strong.
Just know this;
That you are a part of me
As I am a part of you
And for this reason,
You should never feel alone.”
But what if I still feel weak?
What if I feel I cannot carry on?
“Just remind yourself
That those who cannot love the shadows
Are not made to love the light.
And those who see the spark
Will ignite a fire of love in every heart alike.”
