Punjab Hills, Kingdom of Kangra or Guler
Wept my eyes blue,
Looking for Ghanshyam.
I had him beside me
And now he is gone.
Standing at the crossroads,
Squinting in the dark,
I conjure blue shadows,
Turning to mist, each one.
Is he playing one of his tricks?
Making my heart so sink?
Am I abandoned for good?
Or to follow him into the distant woods?
Waiting at the crossroads,
I think I will rest my tired blue eyes.
Maybe as dawn breaks,
I will find him once again,
by my side.
Hey! Check out this song about Krishna - nice lyrics resonating with your beautiful poem.

Maybe sometimes a God
Deletewants to test our resolve
By never saying why he has gone
maybe sometimes the search
can seem done and complete
before dusk can turn into dawn
maybe sometimes we must
be driven insane
for reason to come back around
maybe sometimes it takes
a lifetime of pain
before Ghanshyam can be found
