HOW LONG?

Clouds of anguish obstructing hopes of life,

A solitary star emitting heady rays of life,

Each ray charged with a special will to live,

Will to penetrate through the fog and mist,

Its warmth forcing the clouds to depart,

To disengage, disappear and vanquish afar,

 

The Star so far and yet so near,

You ain't mine, don't belong here,

Why your rays filled my heart with loving cheer,

Why my mind you filled with light so clear,

The clarity with which world presents today,

Was always so humid, so dark with despair,

 

The heart was always frayed and wounded,

The mind and thoughts were  always sullen,

Oh! tell me the distant soother of frazzled spirits,

How long would you shower your love here,

How long would you quench the parched thirst,

How long would you canopy the whirlwinds ,

The scorching heat storms of life,

How long would you be a silent nurturer,

 Of stirred and starved emotions,

How long????????????
