☆ Heart, eyes, and tears… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆
These tears are surprising
which are very close to every heart.
There is a strange relationship
amongst heart, tears and eyes.
Even though,
staying away from the heart,
these are close to every heart.
By the way
Eyes cry many times in life.
Sometimes they cry in joy.
Sometimes they cry in sorrow.
Sometimes they cry when we are awake.
Sometimes they cry when we are asleep.
People Say –
the woman is so sensitive
having a source of tears in her eyes.
However,
I had seen him turning away,
and wiping his eyes
at the time of his wife’s adieu.
I had seen tears in his eyes
at adieu of
his sister
and daughter too.
I had seen tears in his eyes
even when, as a social responsibility
he brought one daughter from another home
with the feeling of adieu of
his sister
and daughter too.
I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes
when you had given presence
in your mother’s womb.
I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes
when he preached the good stories
when you were in the womb
so you may get lessons of life
to overcome the life’s trap.
I had seen tears of helplessness in his eyes
when he found himself constrained
to meet your urgent needs.
I had even seen tears in his eyes
when someone could not understand him
when someone could not honour
his feelings
his relationships.
I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes
when you moved ahead
to fight with life’s lessons
rejuvenating yourselves.
These tears are surprising
which are close to every heart.
There is a strange relationship
amongst heart, tears and eyes.
Even though,
staying away from the heart
these are close to every heart.
