You Need Rest, Honey!

Penned By B D Narayankar

Today,
at the Laliths
Seeing you whole day long
My eyes were hurt;
eyelids burnt

I felt as though
the kohl (kajal) had fallen 
from your holy eyes
And, 
with it the meaning 
of life, irretrievably lost

You need rest
You need peace
You need dear ones (mother, father)
around you
for the tiny Life 
throbing within

Can't see you straining
Can't see you 
busy, any longer
You need rest
You need peace,
My Love
