Distant Thoughts Poem by spiritual seeker

Sunset, crowds of people,
Hustle and bustle of Belagavi street,
Yet feeling cold and lonely, lost in my distant thoughts of you.
O poor Kamar, what has happened to you?
You have left this loving family of yours,
And choose a life of loneliness,
wandering in a far distant land!
Tell me, what value is this life?
for comfort and ease has made me restless and empty,
for knowledge and life’s wisdom I do seek,
that certainly will not come in my sleep.
