THE SEEKER

Anger engulfs the heart
Pain the soul's only thought
The eyes through tears of woe do see
A world of shameless animosity

To rise above the pain of life
Again to find the purest light
This the seeker yearns to find
Above the trials it must arise

The spirit seeks to find a guide
Not realizing in itself this lies
And thus does life become less tried
As the seeker waits upon the guide

And now the seeker begins to die
Heart and soul in darkest light
And with last breath does realize
Inside itself did lie the guide



 Without darkness there is no light
Without the light we cannot see the dark
Balance...It heals the soul -- by: LB

Thank you Robert.  The self realization helped my life to move forward.

No truer words of self-realization have I read in recent times. Very well done.
We all must come to the understanding that our guide indeed lies within ourselves.

Thank you Jennifer.  I honestly enjoy the inner search that creates many of my poems.
