All You Who Sleep Tonight

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

-- Vikram Seth

That is such a beautiful poem,Maqsood Qureshi,it really touches my heart.Thanks for posting it and your comment on my blog.

I think,by you posting this poem, the reality comes through,and I see you in it. You are very sensitive and care about people.There are relatively few people and far between,like you.
