journey
quest
of all the places you could go
of all the adventures
that come with being alive
being human
in its truest essence
is the hardest journey
you and I
will ever undertake
full circle
with each turn
opened a new universe
sweat, tears, hopes, dreams
all had their way
a birth and a death
in each experience
only love and learning
has remained
that journey now
has reached completion
and new horizons await
seeker
as you awaken
to the Truth
of who you really are
anything and everything
that is not real
crumbles away
path
words fall through me
and rituals pull me away
now that each step
I take towards you
is a prayer
deeper tranquil
feel life pulsating
through your veins
feel it from the inside
in your fingertips, in your toes
let your skin breath
let the sun warm your soul
walking the long road
you tumbled over and fell
tired, and weary at times
you sought answers
no one could ever tell
but look where you are
look how far you have come
your eyes, your skin, your face
they all have countless stories to tell
of wars you fought
with people
with your self
faces, forms
they all will fade away
for they were never there to stay
gaze inwards
where the answers lie
live deeper in love
beyond the perception
of your eyes
in your unrestrained soul
are the moments of sheer enormity
of a value beyond words
take a dip in that ocean
there’s nothing, no nothing of the world
that could quench that thirst
even in moments of despair
there is a deeper tranquil
find a way to it
and it will stay
feel your precious life
pulsating through the veins
I’ll say these words
before my speech
in silence
is lost again
heart’s wish
times may change
years may pass
may my heart find peace
only in things that last
at the end of the day
at the end of my life
may it only be meaningful things
for which I strive
may I never be misunderstood
or cause someone pain
may only clarity, selfless love
pulsate through my veins
people might change
they might want to come and go
but when the time is right
just make it easier for me to let go
through this journey, through this life
its your love and light I ask
innocence of a child
kindness in this heart
it is not one less year of this life
it is one year closer to You
in everything I seek, believe and do
may I only appease You
