This journey on this endless road
of discovery with it's pain and pleasure,
light and darkness is it's main
color scheme.
But I wear suits that glitter in any kind
of weather, in sunshine and rain, and I
adorn myself with accessories,
gold necklaces and diamond rings.
When I look in the mirror, I see
the reflection of who I am not, and
my true self frowns at what I
have become, self-centered and vain.
My journey I am told should be a search for
the enlightenment of the soul. One of the main
ingredients for acquiring wisdom is patience.
The wise said remove from a hill of sand one grain.
I have removed from the center,one grain, as the wise
has said. I asked the question why one grain?
He answered, if you have searched and found the
center, it is patience you have gain.
