I seek what I know not I want;
I seek an abode in the eye of the storm.
I trust the winds were sent for a reason,
To clear the dust or uproot the unstable base.
I trust that He’s guiding me with His beacon,
Slow or fast, at least I’m moving ahead in my own pace.
I know not what lies ahead;
I fear of losing what’s not mine yet.
I seek what I know not I want.
I found you.
When I sat by myself, introspecting,
You were in the reflection of the glass that I was holding.
When I walked the distance in solitary,
You were in the shadow that kept me company.
When the noise all around became overwhelming,
You were the voice in my head that got me going.
It was surprisingly easy to spot you in all the hullabaloo,
Once I knew what I was looking for was you.
You’re my confidence, the best part of me.
And against all odds, I found you in me.
There’s an oasis in front of me
And it looks so promising!
Being far from it is unsettling
Time is of the essence, you see!
There’s hope and wonder in the wait to reach,
There’s thrill and mystery in its trail,
It’s all glitter and it has got me on its chase.
It’s a place as warm as the winter sun,
And cool like the summer breeze.
It’s where I know I’ve got to be,
It’s where I know one day I’ll be!
My mind sets on its own journey,
swimming depths of oceans, enduring sandstorms in lonesome deserts…
My boisterous mind runs faster than me and goes farther than I reach
It pushes me to gather pace and chase it down the unending space…
And then, almost without warning, it stops to reflect.
It wants to see its darkest shades.
The hues of life have faded over time
but left their imprints on the walls, like an ancient decorated shrine.
Springing back in action, it comes alive;
Only this time..
it strolls in the alleys and lanes that had forgotten the color of daylight
It’s seeking answers that are waiting at the end of the mazes that the mind itself designed!
