The Journey Is Always Within

The journey is always within.
Carrying the suitcase
of bittersweet experiences,
he set the journey
towards a new dawn
where sufferings die
and joy is born.

The journey we all must undertake
is within ourselves…

We live a meaningful life,
yet it seems so hollow,
In our minds~ we are all travelers,
with our own trails to follow!

I’m a nomad,
on an endless quest
to discover myself.
Solitude is my only solace.
I’m never alone,
I’m all the company that I need.

The journey of my life
A long way to go still
Lots of internal strife
Playing on my will
I will still go on
Many a thing to achieve
Will never be my mind’s pawn
All I have to do is believe.

Finally, I walked alone,
On a path unknown.
Felt I was on track,
Nothing did I lack.
The light within
was beckoning
I think it was time
for some reckoning!

There I went walking down
the railroad tracks,
losing my mind and
coming out the other side.
Only to find I was running
from myself this whole time.

Along the sense
of my frailed existence
I walk down the track
of a forgotten lane
Hoping for the twilight
to swallow me in
I walk towards the sunset
of a revered dawn
To discover once again
my true identity
Which in the swindles of time
has been Lost.

I’m thinking, deeply
About moving on.
I dream, weepily,
Of things not done.
I allowed being bound
Instead of being free
And inside now I’ve found
There is much more to me!
