The Long Wait...

A poem where I long for a few things in my life and finally gets one of them but not the other after years of struggle & patience.

Years of turmoil, Months spent in penance
Days of hard labor, Weeks in growing agony
All those traumatizing hours, All those eerie moans
Comes to a sudden halt, Comes as a splash

Alas! What I have done! What I have really done!
Has my eyesight weakened? Has my mind gone numb?
Am I in my senses? Am I in control of my mind?
Can somebody tell me? Can someone please help?

Shaken by the actuality, Jolted by the paralyzing truth
My mind cannot fathom, What my eyes searched to looked at
With my limbs benumbed, My subconscious turned unconscious
Brought back from the winks, By the twinkling blinks

With a feel of elation, And a sense of respite
The boundless joys, the inexplicable glee
The act seems to be realized, The mitzvah done
But, how can I stop now? Why can't I dream again?

Thanks to the Almighty, Bow to the Supreme being
I can't get all, I cannot desire for all what I want
Then life would have been perfect, but life's a stage
And my soul keeps whispering, the longing wait is temporary over...
