He who became unknown
Quiet feelings desire to shout
U are there where the seeds were sown.
Eyes in pain but mind claimed
Calm face chasing me
Strength of silence so high
Alas but there is no key
Stepping out with resolution
To welcome the unknown
Mind praying for revolution
May the feelings be shown
Heart craves to speak
Conscious doesn't dare to listen
May those drops don't leak
He shouldn't see them glisten
Life is not so fair
Smile can make it brighter
Mind and heart turning into pair
Sorrows should turn lighter.
I have written the above poem to express feelings of Gautama Buddha's wife when she sees him enter in their town. He had become a sanyasi and had detached himself from all the bondages. His wife makes her mind strong with a strong determination to shield her self-respect. She didn't want him to see her sorrows.
