I Send Letters

By Mirabai Mirabai

I send letters to my Beloved,

The dear Krishna.

But He sends no message of reply,

Purposely preserving silence.

I sweep his path in readiness

And gaze and gaze

Till my eyes turn blood-shot.

I have no peace by night or day,

My heart is fit to break.

O my Master, You were my companion

In former births.

When will you come?
