A Prophet's Ache (For Jessica Gomes); Love And Peace 121.7.6;69;4o13

He's a little boy, within an old man's body;
Tries his best to live, a life that's known as Godly.

As that little boy, his vision is World change;
But as a man within the World, his vision seems deranged.

He's without formal allegiance, without strategic ties;
He's clumsy navigating, contemporary politics and lies.

His family abandons him, sometimes provides a nod;
His friends just laugh with disbelief, at what he touts and lauds.

He knows Northern Winter's cold;  He knows Southern Summer's hot;
He knows a man is measured, by what others think he's got.

But he's unmoved by riches, it is the Truth for which he searches;
And he finds it within and throughout, rather than just alliance with Churches.

So he leads a pauper's life;  some perceive him as being lazy;
And when he wields his Prophetic voice, many dismiss him as being crazy.

He ponders then what's left to do, he knows it's the Truth he reaches;
But how can he share any message, to an audience detesting preachers.

So he's left in limbo, wanting a family to begin;
But he needs a house, family, friends, and a community to win.

He spends his days in computers, and nestled in his books;
He walks the streets on guard, receiving different looks.

He spends much his day alone, even when surrounded by other peeps;
He cushions himself within his thoughts, because few can tread that deep.

He wastes himself in tissues, earning the title, "wanker;"
abusing images of women, cuz he doesn't have to thank her.

What other woman can love him, reside in his Universe;
Build a life together, and satisfy his thirst.

On That Day he sees her, and he casually takes note;
He searches to find plus, and if it has been wrote.

He experiences a draw, "cosmic" describes it best;
She satisfies the requirements, of his clumsy, compatibility test.

His ego is on humble, his sense of duty drives him on;
Inspired by her being, he tries to write a song.

It's only an estimation, but he writes of love and joy;
He writes of Kismet connexion, between a girl and a boy.

He's so used to riding solo, without people who can bother;
But within his sanctity, he ponders welcoming another.

She encourages him to stand, against the voices that tell him choose:
Between the death of the martyrs, and the forsaking of Sadhus.

He sees with her a life, and a family on his side;
But these are nascent images, in his mind does it reside.

He shares his words with her, and within her he's invested;
And the World round observes, to see his Prophethood tested.

He knows the Divine is within him, and within her too;
And he knows Divine Will exists, beyond what his ego wants to do.

He must learn her story, before she speaks a word;
He must reach beyond himself, beyond what he has yet heard.

The Prophet's life is tenuous, there's an absence of any guarantee;
Harder still to convince a wife, to within him find her glee.

But he sleeps rest assured, regardless which the door,
Everything's for a reason, it happens all before.

He knows he's invincible, when it's done for Heaven's sake;
But he lingers in the uncertain, will she sooth a Prophet's Ache.
