11. Two unlucky souls
Lord, how longCan we endure our separation?
Let us settle our dispute
Once and for all.
I shall share with You
What I have: ignorance-night.
You shall share with me
What You have: Nectar-light.
Daughter, I try and cry,
Cry and try,
To share with you.
But
You neither receive
My cherished treasure,
Nor do you share
Your treasure with Me;
Therefore
We play the role of
Two unlucky souls
And two helpless lives.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 16, Agni Press, 1974
