Poem
Sitting in a dark room meditating Sitting ruminating and contemplating About myself and my life When out of the dark a voice spoke out 'content yourself with who you are With who you discover as you meditate Rather than concern yourself with who and what others think you are For that is a perception based on their flaws This perceived being is not you'. I sat still in mind absorbing these words Not surprised to hear this voice. As I ruminate longer the voice spoke again 'you are free, you can fly, you be be anything that you choose to be But others will put you in a cage and clip your wings They will restrict your ambition and full your passion And tell you to settle for less. This is because they wish you not to fly, to soar to achieve Because their wings have been clipped'. Once again I sat and absorbed this wisdom. Finally while contemplating the voice spoke again There is no happiness in greed but all you need is yours You just have to manifest it by asking for it and working for it You have a creative mind and soul as well as eyes that see beauty You have discovered light by going through darkness You found love after being subjected to hate You resonate kindness and compassion Now share that and put it out to all and you will know wealth The wealth of wellbeing, of light, love, happiness and inner peace That is true wealth, true riches, real treasure'. I sat still absorbed this last piece of omniscient wonder And stood up, walked to the door And when I looked out, the light was brighter The colours much richer, the details much sharper And everything was more beautiful And love coursed through my veins like a tsunami wave. This was a new begining And I was going to seize this moment.
