Within Me

Within Me

I spread myself  

Within that space  

I search for it  

Why this endless  

Longing?

Across the Heart  

Craving light  

I enter its glow  

Seeking the shadow  

Mistaking it for  

Truth?

Echoes Heard  

Trusting the rise  

I step inside  

Searching for silence  

Accepting the weight —  

Is this beauty?

Thoughts Run  

Wings unfurl  

Eyes on the sky  

Chasing breath  

At the edge of life —  

Pain?

In Tears I Stand  

Seeking meaning  

Crossing shores  

Like pressure building  

In the hush of ruin —  

Wisdom?

Silence Speaks  

Mind opens wide  

Yearning for wholeness  

Blending completely  

A face that  

Cannot return?

Memories Arrive  

Filling the chest  

Walking through shadows  

Beginning to move  

And pausing  

In friendship?

Beyond Sight  

The path rushes  

Searching along it  

Embracing the wound  

A gift that  

Veils the gaze?
