To Constantly Wonder Afresh:
"Father, I forgive myself
If you try hard enough,
you always find reasons
to forgive yourself.
But then,
while the heavy crosses of guilt
rot all along the easy path you tread,
slowly,
under your cloak of nonchalance,
your muscles atrophy
with no weights to bear,
no burdens to strengthen them.
And then one day, you wonder
why the face in the mirror,
lacks character.
Asha"
