Mystic Healer: A Tale of Betrayal and Redemption


 

“Mystic Healer: A Tale of Betrayal and Redemption” is a poignant poem about the tragic decline of a once-respected healer who, despite his powers to alleviate suffering, experiences profound loss with the disappearance of his wife and estrangement from his child. As grief envelops him, the crowd that once sought his help disappears, leaving only a few who remain unaware of his internal torment. Though capable of vengeance, he chooses restraint, understanding the inescapable nature of karma and the consequences of betrayal. The poem conveys the harsh truth that selflessness can lead to heartbreak and serves as a cautionary reminder of the importance of balancing love with self-preservation, ultimately finding solace in solitude.


 

In shadows deep, where secrets breathe,
A man delves into mystic wreath.
Tantra’s call and Aghora’s night,
He bends the arc of fate’s own light.

For others’ woes, his heart does bleed,
Their sorrows soothe, their spirits freed.
A healer’s hand, a sorcerer’s charm,
His presence shields them all from harm.

Yet in his life, the darkness clings,
His wife now gone on silent wings.
A child estranged, a home bereft,
In grief’s embrace, he’s coldly left.

Once crowds did throng, their hopes laid bare,
To seek his aid, to feel his care.
But as his tears ran dry and sore,
Most turned away, they asked no more.

But some like leeches cling and drain,
Ignoring all his silent pain.
They seek his strength, though he is weak,
His hollow heart they cannot speak.

A tragedy, it is, profound and grim,
Those he loved most betrayed him.
For them he sacrificed his all,
Yet they watched him crumble and fall.

Though power to crush them he does possess,
He refrains from bringing their distress.
For karma’s wheel will turn its spin,
And they will pay for every sin.

At last he stands, his voice a plea,
“Enough, no more, just let me be.
I’ve given all, my soul is torn,
Find solace now in your own morn.”

The lesson learned, in shadows cast,
Kindness for humans does not last.
Be selfish, be happy, be safe from the storm,
Guard your heart, keep it warm.

The nights grow long, his heart still aches,
For those he saved, for love’s mistakes.
Yet in the quiet, he finds his peace,
A weary soul, at last, released.

Resisting vengeance, he walks alone,
Knowing well what they’ve sown.
For karma is a bitch, they say,
And she will bite, hard one day.

In giving all, he found his end,
A broken heart, too late to mend.
Let this tale, with sorrow rife,
Teach to balance love with life.
