Traveller

” I wish to be a traveller not only to behold the secrets of the world but to appease the longings of the soul”. K.Sirjusingh

I want to follow beauty, not that I may be like her,
But that I may understand her ways.
I want to walk with sorrow not to ridicule him,
But that I may reassure and offer comfort.

I want to face my inner demons and ghosts,
And realize my greatest enemy conquers from within.
I want to walk alone, along the unknown path,
So that I may reach the mountain top of introspection.

I want to pursue happiness with pain to remind me of my blessings.
I want to look upon the dawn of a new day,
And then kneel in gratitude at his creations,
Knowing I am connected to the whole.

I want to observe silence that the untamed in me
Might be subdued through discipline.
I want to call him my other half,
Who accepts in me what is also him,
And respects what isn’t.

I want to live with brothers and sisters of different tongues,
And be understood through words and deeds of love.
I want to look upon a stranger and recognize the infinite in him,
And then look upon my own being and realize my own infinite within.
