For You

For a moment there I forgot that however slowly,
The sobbing night will pass,
The tear stains from the pillow will no longer be wet,
The surge of bile will have spilled, softened,
The old weakness will have returned, mocking,
In the orange mornings the shriveled heart will always beat for you.
The Song Of The Sufi Masroof

@Sreeja, thank you so much, all that's beautiful in life is subtle, isn't it :)
