I met....

Thoughts meander, and the beliefs waver,
To the inner fight, I almost surrender……….
There is a cross-way ahead, am too puzzled to select,
Not sure to choose which, and too tired to act…….

Solitude, I need you…just sit beside (me) and help me out,
Help me to perceive, guide me through,
What this realization is all about?

I went to a mosque, I went to a temple..
I sat beneath the blue sky, with time so ample…

Deep, deep ocean, vast and serene..
The distant mountain, proud and green…….

I saw a child, asleep and pure,
I saw two lovers, radiant and sure……..

I met an old man, crippled and weak,
With layers of disease, ugly and thick…

I met a mother, content and full,
Of happiness and life, like a breeze so cool…

I found a human, helping the poor,
He understood life, that’s for sure…….

I met a mind, sorted and clear,
Honesty personified, with emotions so dear…

I met the I, but it was not quite there,
(But) I brought it back home, for there is a whole journey to share…..
