Lord, Your life is no party



(3040)  Aloke asoniko

You came not in luminescence;
You came into darkness gloomy.
You came not to wear a wreath;
You'd arrived for eye-wiping.

You came not on a day happy,
With an invite to festivity,
On water pot the mango leaves,
A rice painting in greeting.
You'd arrived on night of grief
To soothe kindly.

For You I've searched, the light within,
To circumvent the gloomy mist.
I did not think that even amid light's absence,
Your splendor shines in secrecy.
