The Longing

In the depths of longing, a flame does burn,
An ember within, seeking truth to discern.
A quest for answers, a yearning to know,
Yet the path ahead feels steep, a daunting shadow.

Through the labyrinth of self, you wander alone,
Seeking solace, seeking light to be shown.
In the depths of despair, your heart does ache,
As the ego’s grip tightens, with every step you take.

But hold on, dear seeker, for hope lies in wait,
Within the darkest moments, seeds of wisdom germinate.
Acknowledge the fire, the unquenched desire,
Let it fuel your journey, higher and higher.

For in the struggle lies the seed of strength,
A catalyst for growth, a transformative length.
Embrace the helplessness, the vulnerability deep,
For within those cracks, true awakening seeps.

Amidst the uncertainty, find solace in surrender,
Release the need to control, let go and remember,
That in the vastness of existence, you’re but a part,
Connected to the cosmos, woven into its art.

Though the road may be arduous, fear not the unknown,
You’re guided by a force much greater, to be shown.
Through the valleys of doubt, keep your spirit alight,
Embrace the dance of shadows, and bathe in their light.

So, dear seeker, keep walking with steadfast grace,
Embrace the complexities, the tears upon your face.
For within the depths of your being, a truth does reside,
A spark of divinity, waiting patiently inside.

Let the burning desire become your guiding flame,
Igniting the path to self-discovery, without shame.
Embrace the journey, the twists and the turns,
For in the realm of the soul, true wisdom yearns.
