If you are lost in the world around you
Maybe there are cues that you can use to
Find your way back to the path you were on
But what do you do when you feel lost and forlorn
From within, when the routes in your heart and mind
Run in different directions and you cannot find
A coherent way forward amid the chaos
Conflicting paths seems to criss-cross
Leaving you rudderless and in a drift
How then, from confusion to directed goals you shift?
The vicious cycle of a lack of direction
That further erodes your attention
Makes it increasingly difficult to wade
Through the maze that has been more complicated made
*
How do you find a way, from inside out
A clear path forward, not riddled with doubt
This was the question my anxious mind
Had for years been trying to find
I read extensively and tried to imbibe
Conventional wisdom from my tribe
The conclusion however remained but one
This battle had to be in isolation won
*
One day I just closed my eyes to the mayhem around
Gave my thoughts a “time-out”, and found
Emptied out of racing thoughts, my mind seemed to be
Calm, peaceful, ready to think coherently
Nothing earth-shattering happened that day
But it altered the course of my life in a huge way
The merits of meditation were revealed to me
As I meditated every day, an emerging path I could see
This way forward emerged from within my heart
I embarked on the path, it was a good start
And have not looked back since then
I carry within me my personal heaven
Passion...unbridled
