“O my life!
You came in,
and did what you wanted to.

You wanted me to be serious,
though it took time
to make me into one.

Then one day,
you found something too strange,
and went away.

Kept yourself at bay,
just to take care of mine.
Started saying no
to all that once was yes.

It was a good play
that you went away.

You had your life,
did not want me to realize.
Just kept that hanging bangle
over my head,
and changed me very nicely,
for no good reason—
perhaps no reason at all.

Ask God—
if you were right,
He would not have
brought you closer.
Closer at all.

Ask Him again.
Close your eyes.
If He says yes,
please come,
and play again.”
