Now that you're with me, be my guest—
Like me a life-long traveller,
Enjoy night-long welcome and rest,
Tomorrow, let's leave together.
You may go to your way, I mine
To be a bird rare that may call
And never heard by hearts that pine,
Oh to fall lifeless by next fall.
Unleash your worst of sting, feel free,
I'd bear all, night-long you unfold,
No pain conquers me so easy,
Traveller I'm of a tough mould.
So, O pain, grief, and suffering,
Be my guest and a night long king,
Ready to leave by the morning,
You scarce for long to me can cling.
Let by dawn all aches feel amiss,
By nature joy am I and bliss.

Member: Savita Tyagi Comment: A inspiring and hopeful poem. Personal pain is sometime the worst enemy to conquer. Thanks for sharing. Pain is pain but by recalling it often we feel miserable more. Let pain be with you for a while, and by the next morning you being a traveller move on, and so does the pain with you. Thanks for liking it.

I would like to translate this poem
Life is a mixture of joy and pain! They come in turn! At one time if we feel depressed by pain, let us hope that it is something transient and happiness will soon follow! Such a hope will keep us going! Even if a guest is a pest, if we know that he will leave us by next daybreak, we can easily endure his presence. In the same way, if sorrow is a temporary visitor, it is not hard to entertain him! An inspiring write!
Yes precisely, like a guest to welcome pain if it visits us. And pleasure is no pleasure without pain, and the other way around. Thanks for your comments.
