Ode to the Wanderer!

P O E T R Y 

The Self,

And The Love Of The Self.


Not All Who Wander Are Lost!

--

One may wander away from God,

Just because One doesn't know God,

Or,  perhaps can't imagine or think,

Who or what exactly God may mean,

One may wander away from Truth,

Lured either by lust, desire or greed,

One may perhaps repent later on,

Wondering on how, I will be freed, 

From the sin inadverdently committed.

One may either through ignorance,

Or may negligence or Indulgence,

Might have committed a deadly sin,

Wandering away from peace and joy,

Might have regretted  for the same, 

Full of self-pity, remorse, full of shame,

For whatever reason, whatever cause,

One can never wander away from Self, 

That radiantly shines there one's heart.

Self in all its kindness, calls one back,

Forgives one for all one's mistake,

And if even once, one gives it a chance, 

Held in its Beloved's embrace, dance!

This is no wandering somewhere away, 

It's but the role and it's Self's all play, 

For all love Self, and Self loves all,

The distances all vanish in the Self! 

The two were always one and the same,

One never wandered, away from Self!
