Please Open Your Window Poem by Arun Maji

I am waiting to hear from you.
I told you what I had to tell
Now it's up to you.

You said you were lost.
I said you were not.
You just forgot yourself
And soon, you would remember yourself.

You are a flower
Fragrance is flowing in your heart.
I can smell it,
Though you cannot.

Have you smelt your own heart ever?
Perhaps you have not.
You are so obsessed with darkness,
You have forgotten
Night is the womb where day is born.

You are so distracted with smell of flesh and blood,
You have forgotten
Human has a garden within her
And that garden grows exquisite beauty
And unforgettable fragrance.

You don't have to love me
If that is what you want.
But you must love yourself.

You are poisoning yourself every day.
Why are you cruel to yourself?
Why are you angry deep within?
Who are you angry at?

Forgive yourself
Forgive others.
Guilt and anger
Both are fire.
They burn you to ashes.

Look at the sky.
What you see?
An infinite shelter.
You always have shelter,
You always have someone to love you.
Truly, sincerely.
But you must be ready to accept that love.

Why do you cry
Banging your head on door that is closed for you?
In life, one door closes
Another opens.
Go for door that is open.
You never know
How much wealth is inside.
May be
There is more wealth than you could ever imagine.

You must open window of your heart.
If window is not open
How sunshine of hope will enter your soul?

Please open your window.
