                                Some Musings on the Inner self

                                   If in the stillness of our room
                                      We gently close our eyes,
                                 From the very depth of the gloom
                                     We may sense some far ties.

                                      If in the midst of the silence
                                         We deep open our ears
                                      And ponder on our existence
                                         We may a thin voice hear.

                                          If with a calm serenity
                                      We muse with peering sense,
                                            With mindful serenity
                                      We may learn life`s essence.

                                         If in the pitch of solitude
                                         We peer at our own soul,
                                      We may feel a deep quietude
                                           In our mind as a whole.

                                     If in the peak of stern stillness 
                                         We scan the inner self,
                                 We may view a gleam of brightness
                                      That longs to guide ourselves.

                                    In the depth of the inner self
                                       Lies some gentle brethren
                                    Very much akin to ourselves
                                         And a tender human.

                                     The inner self is like a pond
                                        Reflecting man`s image,
                                  Cherishing human love and bond.
                                         All throughout the ages.
