The questions unanswered....

Sitting back on the chair, thinking about the unknown,
A tear trickled through my eyes,
My heart, busy pulling the chariot of desires
Stopped, and peeped into my sad eyes.
Despaired to the smiling eyes, filled with deep blue tears.
He sat, beside me, waiting for me to calm down.
I smiled, smiled more, and he gazed at me.
Tried to tell him, I was fine, happy and relaxed.
Asked he, what made me sad, cry.

The tears flowed again, I told him
I asked a few questions, just a few of them,
The answers were not the ones, the ones I had been told,
Oh, I lost it, I lost it, I had been deceived ever since,
The answers were not the ones, the ones I had been told.

Puzzled, he questioned, just a few questions,
Tell me what they were; I shall give you true answers,
I shall not deceive you, I shall not, I promise.
Nodding with tears still on, I thought I would tell.
I asked, if, honesty was the best policy
Before, he could speak a word,
I said, no, no, no, that’s the answer
You said, it was, you said it a hundred times,
I was honest, I was open,
And hence, I was laughed upon, I was scorned in.

Calmly, he listened to me,
I asked him, if work was worship,
Before, he could speak a word,
I said, no, no, no, that’s the answer
You said, it was, you said it a hundred times,
I was workaholic, I was sincere,
And hence, I was called chauvinist, I was knocked

Calmer he was now, still listening to me,
I asked him, if faith was the foundation,
Before, he could speak a word,
I said, no, no, no, that’s the answer
You said, it was, you said it a hundred times,
I trusted, I relied upon others,
And hence, I was hurt, I was called a fool.

Now, offended he was, sitting in a deep thought,
He looked at me with, again and again,
And said, yes, I said honesty was the best policy,
Yes, I say honesty still was the best policy,
To be credible, to be acceptable, to be believed,
Not to others, but more to yourself.
I say again, yes, work is worship,
To be happy, to be content,
Not just you, but the Almighty
I say again, yes, faith is the foundation,
To love, to trust, to confide,
Not just the Almighty, but for the life He bestowed upon you,
For those, beautiful people, who love you, trust you.

Wiping my tears, assimilating his words,
I glanced with a smile, I thanked, I apologized,
I smiled more, still some more,
Promising through my eyes, to my heart,
Of never questioning him again, never, ever
For some questions need be left, as they are, forever.
