I Cry Often

I cry often. It is not that I am sad or blue, I cry because I want to cry. Crying is beautiful. It cleanses my heart, And untangles my soul Crushed under mountain called human pain. Who has no pain? Pain is born together with life. As life grows Pain grows too. Human pain must be expressed Otherwise, it would stifle heart And torture soul. Tears is like sacred River of Ganges. It cleanses stinking wound Caused by imprisoned pain. This is why I must cry. And I do. I do it often. © Arun Maji
