Purpose of Love

The ray of Dawn shone on the dew dripped leaf 

beneath it lay a firefly , It admired the Ray in disbelief.

Radiance of the Ray filled the firefly’s  heart 

Cupid struck the arrow and they were no more apart

Firefly said to the Ray, you make me happy you are my glow

I draw from your light ,which in the dark I show 
My glow is my Call of love for you , 
why do you shine on others too?

Ray knew it’s purpose of shining Everyday 
To provide for the leaf under which the firefly lay
I do my bit for who I am, I love you but shine I must for all

I cannot just be yours, our love must be beyond this Call

I shall shine on who I must and you can bask in my radiance

But asking a Ray to just yourself is not my Obeyance 

Firefly froze in pain and chills ran down its spine

The one I love thus can’t  be just mine

Firefly spoke, I feel pain, Radiant Ray,

Do you feel the pain too?

We cannot be with each other, nature has the way, I get it, I really do

Ray was besought with its Purpose for Its Life

Said - pain is for the mind, world is so filled with Strife 

Striving in pain and living is not my belief 

What you feel is not pain, I think it’s a mind game, please feel the Relief

To Firefly this pained more, it did not ask for the Ray to be hers

But only to feel the pain for its tears

My fear to lose You is not my crime

It only goes to say how much I feel you as mine

Just wipe a tear , dear Ray 

I ask for Nothing more 

We all have a purpose, we live it and sail ashore

Feeling is to know and to understand,

Aren’t you happy to have someone who your loss can’t withstand ? 

It was left at that, a draw between Purpose and Pain

Love strikes a balance between the two once again 

Sense of purpose equals the sense of pain

Two cannot but meet , but we must acknowledgement them one and the same ...
