Self Discovery Journey
Who am I, in this vast expanse of time?
A fleeting ember, a flicker in the rhyme.
A reflection of the stars, the cosmic design,
Seeking purpose, a quest to define.
Am I the whisper in the wind's gentle caress?
Or the crashing waves, tumultuous and restless?
Am I the laughter that echoes through the night,
Or the tear that falls, hidden from sight?
Am I the mountain, standing tall and strong,
Or the river that flows, with melodies long?
Am I the sunshine, warming hearts with grace,
Or the shadow that lingers, in a hidden space?
Who am I, in this tapestry of existence?
A seeker, a dreamer, a spark of persistence.
A collection of moments, woven threads of fate,
The choices I make, the love I create.
Am I defined by the past, or the future untold?
Or the present, a gift, where mysteries unfold?
In the depths of my soul, the answers reside,
Waiting patiently, for me to confide.
Who am I? A question without an end,
A journey of discovery, a message to send.
For in the search, I find fragments of truth,
In the depths of my being, eternal and uncouth.
I am a wanderer, exploring life's grand design,
Embracing the unknown, with a heart aligned.
In the tapestry of existence, I am an art,
A unique expression, of the universe's heart.
