Spirituality

The whirlpool
of confusion tries to sink it,
but it firmly remains afloat

The winds of logic try to blow
its supernatural nature away,
but it still remains firm like an oak tree

The flames of selfish ends
try to burn it into bursting flames,
but it still remains fresh and beautiful

The sands of time try to hide it,
but its essence of Truth resurfaces
in our hearts, regardless of our culture
and beliefs we are born in
