Lighted Stillness

An endless journey I took
to find you beyond the darkness of illusion,
searched for you in the maze outside,
but the path ended at the edge of time,
on the precipice of despair.

The pursuit abandoned
in the labyrinth of confusion,
I returned home disenchanted,
discovered a new door inside unlock, 
leading to a roofless room,
opening to the cosmic aura,
and in the lighted stillness of bliss
I found you defined for me.
