Poem: The Truth Is Within You

You search the stars, the endless skies,
Through distant books and stranger’s eyes,
You chase the wind from hill to shore—
Yet still you hunger, still want more.

You ask the world to speak your name,
To cast your whole, to make you flame.
But every echo, every sign,
Returns you to a thread, a line.

The truth you seek, so vast, so wide,
Does not in distant shadows hide.
No mountain peak, no sacred fire
Can give you what your soul desires.

It waits in silence, calm and deep,
In quiet thoughts, you barely keep—
In moments stilled, when masks are gone,
You hear it whisper: you belong.

Not made of gold, nor wrapped in fame,
Not found in praise, nor earned through shame—
But in the breath that fills your chest,
In love you give, in wounds confessed.

So pause the chase, the race, the cry—
Let the questions fall, let the noise pass by.
The mirror holds the clue, the key—
The truth you seek begins with me.

No need to roam, to beg, to prove—
The stillness has its own sharp move.
Be still. Be real. Be brave. Be true.
The truth you need is born in you.

Thank-you for reading.

Much Love and Light,
