In praise of being

All life is searching
Outward
Outward
Finding people
Finding places
Findng things
The short lived joy
These discoveries may bring,
Do not provide the answer
To life's suffering.

Times passes
Once years
Now decades
Still searching,
Then resigning
To something missing
Undefined
Unknown

Wisdom slowly gained
Says, "Turn inward"
Be the seeker
Be the answer
Claim your destiny
From the dellusions
Of the material world

A lifetime wasted
No -
A life gained.
It takes the journey
To realize
All is at home
It takes the doing
To realize
Only being matters
