where do I seek you

when longing sears?

do I look for your footprints

on snow covered slopes

and find my way up

to the silence of the frozen peak

where you sit immersed

in solitary aloneness?

do I search 

amidst flaming pyres of  burning ghats

where in the stench of charred flesh

accompanied by the reverberating beat
of your drum

you play your make believe game

of birth and death?

or do I  find

a lonely corner of my home

and explore hidden pathways

to my heart 

in hope, that one day

you will take mercy 

and come to me?
