“I have journeyed within myself, Scanned rumblings of the inner self Lent my ears to the inner chime Within grasp of the sands of time.” By author. ************************************************************** The Journey Within The journey within, for diverse souls, Begins at diverse stages of life, For some since early days of childhood, Goaded by parental mentoring, For others during the course of life Driven by coincidence or a quirk of fate. For some it`s an insightful journey Shining with light of enlightenment, A straight-line excursion to top of a mount, For others a nebulous trip shrouded with haze, Veiled with dark doubt and deadly dread, A sporadic trek ceasing at foot of a hill. My journey within glowing since days of youth, Sparkling through exposure and learning, Has been deeply anchored with quest to know myself, To find who I am and my goals in life. Storms of life sustained from fate and men Have propelled me to scan deeper within myself, To treasure peace and bliss in solitude At the shining lake of my inner self.
