Wandering through life in search,
of that which burns brightly inside;
Trying to distinguish it's presence,
put a name to it's insistent burning.
I traveled down many paths, alone,
wondering where they may lead.
I delved into that which was the norm,
finding only existence rather than life.
I ached and yearned to be truly living,
to be whole in who and what I am.
Trying to understand exactly that
which I knew and felt inside.
I attempted to place it's meaning,
in a world so different than the
one forming in my heart and soul,
leading me always to that place.
The place that I was taught to
view as wicked and immoral,
a place of dysfunction & fear,
a place for only the lost souls.
Always , the path brought me back,
enticing me, exciting me, a sense
of fulfillment on it's very edge,
beckoning me, drawing me near.
i have arrived at that place, knowing,
absorbing , feeling it all seeping in,
filling me, warming me, showing me
life....real living for my heart and soul.
Settling into my place, i smile...
secretly knowing, that it is where i
am supposed to be, where i am whole
and mere existence is but a memory.
i am alive, i am thriving, i am here.
i revel in the completeness i feel,
the happiness in my very being,
...in my submission.
