In my countless silent
conversations with my friend
the almighty god
i had asked him a million times
or perhaps more
oh dear god
with all those precious gifts
you have bestowed us
in this beautiful universe
why have you mixed miseries.
heartbreaks and sufferings
why do you want your creations
to suffer and endure pains
beg to you to sail
through a tempestuous life.
whenever I ask this
he will only smile at me
and look at my head
as if he is looking for
signs of grey hair
he would vanish without
answering my question.
now that i am getting old
and few streaks of white hair
have appeared on my head
i start to understand a bit
the answer to my question
though I am not there fully yet
just like the night and day
complement each other
our search for happiness
becomes meaningful only when
happiness can co exist with
pains and heartbreaks’.
