You… My… Self

Chaos surrounds me,

Scream amidst more scream.

 My world was small.

Everyone was around me …But I was alone.

I refused chaos.

So I built my castle,

my fortress..

A castle with glass walls

I could see everyone…and everyone could see me.

But I couldn’t hear them…and nobody could hear me…

So I dwelled my silence and peace.

In every chaos,

in every scream,

I entered my castle,

my fortress and safety,

my warmth and security.

I could see everyone…and everyone could see me.

But I couldn’t hear them…and nobody could hear me…

I started to grow up and my castle grew with me

Chaos took new forms.

But my castle…my safety… was still lofty…

 But now it is time to fly;

a bird without wings,

I step out of my castle;

 a chick leaving its egg

a warrior without a weapon,

a leaf in the wind….

Not knowing that something called ‘myself’ has existence

I look in the eyes of others,

I watch all the faces,

 the sky,

 the sea,

 the birds,

the flowers,

I watch the trees.

Silence is my echo,

Chaos around me….insist on staying.

Life’s waves toss me around.

But fate is kind to me.

It wants a different path for me,

the path of light,

the path of truth.

In a moment of enlightenment I find ‘myself’.

I no longer watch the faces.

I am everything with myself…with me…..with I

You, my own self.

I am warmth…I am tenderness

I am love…I am hug

I am the refuge…I am the shelter.. I am the castle…

I am the fortress……I am the safety.

I am support…..I am belief.

I am beauty…I am exile.

I am treasure..

You, my own self…my eternal sun…..
