I had an epiphany at 4am
While I was thinking about that special soul
Wondering what she would tell me to do
Imagining her response – To my dilemma
~
And in these thoughts, these fantasies
Where I would think of what she would say
I conjured up solutions to my problem
Possible answers and suggestions
~
This is when I realized
That the girl I have been looking for – Is myself
~
In the absence of the one I love
And in the moments I have felt most alone
All I needed to do was listen
And my thoughts are enough to sustain me
~
Through my own voice
My own embrace
I answer my own prayers
And she, me, is here, everywhere
~

“I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!”
thanks Anurag for that poem. very meaningful and deep. can totally relate. it made me feel more positive after a crappy start to my day. kind of gave me more hope to live another day and that no matter if you have no one..no friends or family at the end of the day..uve always got urself and that is something 🙂
like the Hafiz poem as well.
Completely in love with it.
Thank you for sharing.
Hmm…..The recursion…. The introspective reflective element….Thanks for this one….gave me another epiphany..can go to sleep happily now..
Thank you so much… I’ve always liked that poem by Hafiz & it means so much more within the context of this epiphany.
nice 🙂 thanks for posting this!
