I searched,
From birth, I searched,
For what? I wondered.
With many, I wandered.
Getting lost, I pondered,
Back to the bones, I fluttered.
Love, the way I knew crumbled,
Over and over, down under.
To the cage, I built,
To the depth, I slinked
For Love, I saw,
Deep down was no new.
To me, to all and to the few,
The ones who went only knew,
One by one, clue by clue,
Piece by piece, the wings flew,
Hovering above what was due.
Love says: “All is You. Now you see, what you always knew”.
