The Presence of Your Absence

By Sushant Shrestha



When your loving embrace ceases to adore

When your blessing hands concludes to pour

When the majestic lights sneaks out your throne

There arises a Love that is my own


Sounds of the night that steadies a flight

Rounds of the quest from divergent heights

Discerning eyes and a fistful of dreams

Now Awakening longs to follow my streams


The presence of your absence is all that I need

Where lights are made in sounds of the Seed

Allures my light through the unknown

The distance of hearts has never been grown


Your presence is here but your absence persists

The ever-existing waves of manifold twists

Veils of time and veils of space

Immerses the Absence in your own grace


Absence that shines and presence that heals

Sings of your glory while turning the Wheels

Alone in my path bounding ashore

The presence of my absence is what I now know
