I did as much as I could
The way you kept me, I remained so
Burning my body bit by bit
I lit up your front
I did as much as I could
Sometimes I made a garland of my breath
Sometimes I lit my body, incense and lamps
Sometimes I washed your temple with tears in my eyes
I did as much as I could
Sometimes I bathed in fire
Sometimes I slept on thorns
I found many signs of you
But I did not see you anywhere
Leaving my home, today I have come to your shelter
Youth passed, old age came
Still, I never said anything to you
I did as much as I could
Sometimes I lit the lamp of my breath
Sometimes I offered my body to you
Sometimes I hugged my troubled heart
Understanding and explaining
Sometimes drowning in the river of sorrow
Played with happiness and illusion
I did as much as I could
Sometimes I rested my head on your doorstep
Sometimes I prayed for myself
Sometimes I cried bitterly after telling about my helplessness
Sometimes I laughed heartily at my fate
Sometimes I made others laugh too
I did as much as I could
Sometimes you said that the aim of living is
Not work, not wealth, not happiness, not vision
Did I ever insist on this from you
I lived as you wished
Whenever I sent you a cup of sorrow and poison
I drank it silently thinking it to be nectar
I did as much as I could
Thank you so much for reading. Have a great day 😊🙏. @vikbuddy
