The truth of self

[trialbyerror]

In the galaxy that is your mind,
Bereft of Kith or kin’
There is a vast and desolate place
Through which we all alone must pass

To find
The truth of self

The river of your life
Stretching out before
It’s awesome power compels
You have no choice but
To Journey’s end

And
The truth of self

And strive as you will
With all your might!
But not one inch
Will you change It’s pre-determined course

Consider then and learn

And fight it not
For you fight but only yourself
No one else be the foe!

But, yielding find you peace
In the ebb and flow,
As you journey on

To find
The truth of self

Oh peaceful day
At journey’s end
The power flowing
Free
Unconstrained
By narrow minded banks

And there
At shore’s edge,
Bright and clear

You will know
The truth of self
