I followed the trail of mystics and sages
To the mighty
mountain tops and the mysterious caves
To find eternal bliss and salvation
I meditated for hours and hours
Yet I couldn’t find peace and harmony
The quest for inner peace went astray
Told my inner self, this is not your chosen path
I joined the bohemian tribes
And travelled to unknown, faraway lands
So serene so quiet, to forget all that I had left behind
To decipher the truth about myself
To find where I really belong
There is something
missing in this nomadic life
Told my inner self, this is not your chosen path
I went to tranquil pilgrim places
To find solace in the almighty
I sang the verses and hymns
I danced and whirled to experience the lord
My voice was so feeble, my movements so frail
The lord dint bless me with his divine presence
Maybe I was too naive for enlightment
Told my inner self,
this is not your chosen path
Here I am dejected and defeated by fate
Hoping against hope for some divine intervention
Walking through the seashore,
The threshold where my journey began
I saw a footprint in the sand
I followed the trail with accelerating speed
For I am so sure this is the sign
I ran and ran until I met the lonely traveller lost in
thoughts
Then I realized he was my companion
Whom I had left alone in my search for happiness
With the tears in my eyes the longing in my heart
With my shattered pride and crushed ego,
I walked towards him and held my hands
The roaring waves, the light sea breeze said farewell to us
All this days I was scared of loss, pain and separation
I was scared to fall in love
But now I have found the missing part in me,
My true happiness was always beside me
My salvation was in his love, for he was part of my soul
My way of life is love, my key to happiness is love.
