Finding The Internal Riches

Why hast thou been forlorn,
Alone and abiding in time
That stands still
To this day?

Doest thou not know
The many gifts
That the present may bring
Or the blessings that are bare
Upon thine tears?

All that I have bore upon mine shoulders
To this day are darkness and greed
And many have spoken upon the winds
To my disenchantenment.

The paths through the squandered wastes
And ravages of time have brought me naught
but guilt and shame
As seen by the flock.

Yet I live,
Though to many,
Indignant.

Hast thine mind been closed
To these hidden gifts that I may share?

Oh how far we must fall
To achieve the graces of others,
For their sakes.

Yet I admit at times I stand alone and condemned.

Never yet have I felt so alone
Within the confines of mine keep,
For I am and have been
A seeker of hearts and promise.

Alone is but a word
Transformed into a feeling of hopelessness,
A guide into the inverness canyons
Of one's internal barren wastes.

It is to these souls I call out and speak
For they cannot see...
Else they would wash their own indignations
From themselves and rise again.

Yet to many,
I seem myself
Lost
Eternally.

Look not for the present
Nor toward the future
For both can most certainly
Bring sadness and shame.

I say look inside
Where thine lonesome heart lies,
For here is where you may find
The greatest of treasure and power
Anyone may receive.

Yet here is where life begins
From that tiny spark within
And with each new heart,
Inward in which you bring
New hope and prosperity.

Where thou art rich
The tyrants cast you down
Yet thou hast power
Where these mighty tyrants drown.

My friend, be thou not discouraged.
For thine place is kept in mine heart
That you may live.

Prepare thineself for your uplifting
And find within thineself
The wastes
Now filled lush and green.

It is here that ye may find your presents
Even treasures of what many
Have come to call
FAMILY.

very good

A new spirit? No, I think not. One who has undergone a metamorphosis from faded to integrated, shining brighter and stronger to encompass more in warm and loving light.

Very deep and true...
