she that is lonely and who breaks the minute

she that is lonely and who breaks the minute
which crumbles on her like old bread
and then rises like a wave to engulf her
she has nothing to fear
her loneliness will take her through
and someday she will sleep content
like how children sleep after long days

she who worries for her different loves
who is wife, daughter, lover, mother
her enormous heart will suffice
through repeated betrayals of her love
she has nothing to worry
for she has it in her to take it all in
and from the suffering extend pleasure

like this sad contentment
that rises,
flows from her,
breaking the minute,
her loneliness
rather than her...

hi poetess:

the colour of serenity is blue
contentment be always on you

hi anu:

there is a not little bit, but a huge amount of loneliness in all of us. the trick is in accepting that you cant win against it. most of us just want this loneliness to disappear forever and thus we keep moving in circles. nope, this enemy needs to be fought by befriending it.
