I know I was meant to fly;
To make that leap and to touch the sky,
So, I did what it takes;
In this world, to make my place,
Soaring up high, but I don’t know why?
A strange sense of void, that I could not deny,
Not to be fulfilled, how much ever I try,
This feeling of fear, like falling from the sky,
All I thought was true, seemed to be a lie;
I set out to find, WHO AM I?
I looked for it, everywhere;
Out in the world, no place to spare,
It seemed like a tiring chase;
To look for an answer, in time and space,
Nowhere to go, to search what I seek,
I came to the point, to accept WHAT IS!
The point that I missed was found within,
An immense source of life, joy and peace;
In the space of NOW, “me” met the “I”,
To scale new heights, I glide into the sky.
