Do Not Shed Tears, My Beloved!
Tragedies often catch people off guard. The icy hands of death take you in its grip when you are still busy chasing affairs of life treating them as real. For past few days, my computer’s screen was bombarded with dark images dealing with death. That’s because I was reading material associated with war crimes. I waded though gory tales of unsung people lying buried in unknown cemeteries. However, it never occurred to me that I would have to deal with death in real life after few hours. After spending few hours in mind boggling research, I sought some moments in isolation. However, the news of death of someone, close to my heart, filled me with pain. I had never met him in real life but impact of his passing away left me shell-shocked.
There is no point in bereaving, for you had served him so well my soulmate! His death should be a matter of celebration for you- a cherished culmination of your sincere efforts. Death of loved ones should come as a tragedy to those, who failed in their duties towards them. It should sadden those, who never themselves turned into towering figures of inspiration by their good deeds, and thus, did not provide moments of glory to their near and dear ones. And I know quite well, how you sincerely served him even as you struggled hard to fulfill your routine obligations with your body in grip of so many life threatening diseases. I never saw you missing single opportunity to serve him in nights when your body demanded sleep after having worked a long hard day at the office. So your tears are an insult to great efforts you made in past to provide him comforts at cost of your well being.
Do I need to say more to my soulmate flirting with tears? No. Not at all. This might be suffice that the said person needed better clothes to serve the mission of higher forces. He has not died but merely changed the role. Good people never die. They remain in our hearts and minds as most cherished memories. Close your eyes, my beloved, and you would find him smiling in your mind’s landscape. So do not shed tears in vain. Look at myself. I am lost in all smiles, for having met such a wonderful lady like you in world chased by deception and crooks. I am sure when I would leave this world, I would have no regrets. After all, I came to share the road of life with such exceptional souls like you-the ones who knew how to truly love and care.

Well, to be honest, I have also no clue in this regard..I simply pen the thoughts as they come to appear within..That’s all. May be Lord alone knows the secret..
Arvind…..your words are magical and reach across the miles. By the title alone, I wished to read your article. The phrase “dark images dealing with death” have also filed me with sheer depression, but the words of your article have gently removed me from that feeling. Thank you very much for not only a well-written piece but words to live by.

Thanks Nancy for dropping by..I am not in very positive state of mind..Sometimes sadness overpowers you even as you try hard to toe the line set by the positive impressions you gathered in the past.. I am sure I would get above such dark contours in coming days..But right now, tears rule the roost…It’s they which are smiling…And I let them smile..
@Personal Concerns
Right now I am recycling tears to generate natural smile!!
Author’s words for Carmen Ampuero, Peru:
Trying hard to recycle tears to generate smile..It appears if we both enter into buying and selling of tears it would be a profitable business…We both have mastered the art of manipulating tears and just look at world: It appreciates us for the way we smile! ..Anyway, just heard a line from one song…It said: “The self respect acted as limiting factor in love, or else every minor affair in the world of love made me burst into tears.”
