Seeking and the Seeker

It is that which you seek

and the way you seek,

Takes you inside the ocean,

amidst its fathomless depth,

or makes u fly in the air,

in the vast limitless sky.

When you look for a pearl,

empty shells do not satisfy you.

When you look for a rose,

the prick of a thorn,

does not deter you.

That which is eternity, the truth,

is not undermined by the ephemeral

That which is fleeting cannot be held,

That which exists cannot be wiped,

The true essence of our being lies within us.

It is that which defines and governs,

our nature and destinies.

For those who seek, find the pearls,

Those who are mesmerized by the shells,

Will never know the beauty,

that lies within our soul.
