The Hidden Answer

Often life's greatest mysteries can be solved in ourselves.

I ask myself a simple question,

In which lies a hint, a simple suggestion,

“Is it really so insane of me

To want to find the happiness, that which I cannot see?”

For countless years my answer of course,

Is an adamant “Yes.”

But now I ask this simple question, in which lies a hint, a simple suggestion,

And find the answer to be a defiant “No.”

In this moment a change is felt, a reawakening

Of the inner light inside my soul, ready with its reckoning.

It seeks to banish the shadow,

That permeates my soul.

And from this simple question, I find the answer,

And from the simple suggestion, find forever bliss.

~ profoundly perceptive work...

Very good writing :) I too can relate. I think it is only human for us to want more out of life than what we are getting, and sooner or later we come to rest knowing that with a little hard work and dedication, we can have whatever we want.
