THE SONG I CAME TO SING

Published on 3 March 2024 at 23:12

I Love You

Tagore,Rabindranath. Heart of God (p. 80). Tuttle Publishing. Kindle Edition.

"The song that I came to sing remains unsung
to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and in
unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true, the words have
not been rightly set; only there is the agony of
wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the wind is
sighing by.
I have not seen his face, nor have I listened to
his voice; only I have heard his gentle footsteps
from the road before my house.
The livelong day has passed in spreading his
seat on the floor; but the lamp has not been lit and
I cannot ask him into my house.
I live in the hope of meeting with him; but this
meeting is not yet."
ART: LJ Austin "My House" 2023
