Explore.
Journey within.
Are you where you want to be?
Are you in the place of your truth,
Of your authenticity?
If not, ask why.
Why, oh why, do I choose to be here?
What is the benefit that I hold dear?
But, I didn’t choose this, you say.
I want different,
Now, today!
I hear you,
I do.
This unfair lot.
You chose it not.
It’s one you cannot comprehend.
You wouldn’t wish upon a brother.
Yet, your perspective,
Your worrisome thought,
Might you perhaps, think of another?
For therein lies your freedom.
In the moments of silence,
Before your respond.
There lies your freedom,
Of where you are found.
How you choose to think, to feel,
Creates your inner real.
You dream up your landscape,
Your heaven,
Your home.
Where art thou, in that place of your own?
Did you turn on the light?
Draw open the shades?
Or do you prefer to sulk in darkness,
In the damps of self pity and rage?
Did you know you have power,
To design the atmosphere,
In there.
You can decorate as you please,
With palms swaying in the breeze.
With the sun of bright thoughts,
Gentle waves of trust,
Grassy meadows of gratitude,
Keep heart and mind from going to rust.
Sing joyful melodies of memories past,
With distinct brave beats of future sound.
If this oasis is where you want to be,
It is where you will be found.
All you need is but a moment to take,
Turn your thoughts around,
For everyone’s sake!
Count your blessings,
However small,
For with each one uttered,
Your soul grows tall.
Keep at it each day,
In time you will find,
The calm you longed for,
Right there, inside.
Now, you are curious,
You ask me where do I hide.
I respond,
In the land of Emunah,
I choose to reside.
Come share a space,
In this beautiful place.
Come join me,
I welcome thee.
If you will.
