Do you not realize,
That I’m forever by your side?
Do you not hear me,
Do I speak that softly?
Why don’t you listen,
To my words that with love glisten?
I will be there as your shadow
When to bed you go.
I will be the one who will stay
When you wake up at night afraid.
I will be the one to give you company
When in sorrow you most need empathy.
Do you not feel me,
Yearning for you to perceive me?
Do you not understand,
The messages that I send?
Do you not want me,
The one true friend indeed?
I will be there when you want me not,
Waiting for you to crave my charm.
I will never utter a single complaint or deter
You from ignoring me. Using me. Willfully.
I will be there for you forever,
In death and life, I am your server.
Notice me. Welcome me. Cherish me.
Adore me. Desire me. Smile for me.
Possess me. Be possessed by me.
Think of me. Do not fill me.
Do you recognize me?
I am SILENCE. …………………………………………………………I am happy.

Riding the cycle of life - fast moving and never ending,
I do crave I do desire and I do adore but I do not notice nor understand the messages you send.
As I seek slumber among thorns of anxiety, in patterns of sleep ever shifting,
I think of you, I miss you but I do not understand you for where are when I need a friend?
Very well put Anusha. I think my poem is perhaps a question and yours an answer!
Yours is far better than mine Easwar. Just the last line though - did you mean where are YOU....?
