Life Overhauled
I met a man who challenged me
with eloquence and grace.
He bade me look deep in my heart
within its own secret hiding place.
Why must I try this fruitless quest?
I answered brazen and rough.
I need noone, I care for none.
I love myself, thats quite enough.
He smiled a cryptic, simple smile.
Silently laughing at me.
In anger I shouted, "What do you want
What do I need to see?"
Reaching out with tender hands,
He touched my blinded eyes.
"Now look before your lonely self,
see all that you dispise".
With a newborns vision in my mind,
I saw a world of love.
People sharing, holding on,
to things I've been unworthy of.
I cried with pain and lonliness,
"I want these things for me,
for the first time in my life I want
my love to be set free."
Nodding his head he walked away
leaving me docile, content and disposed
to begin a strangers journey
with my heart and soul exposed.
