NEVER

They never teach you what really matters in life............

Traveled to places far and wide

Never did I travel to my inside

Read loads of books of all type

Never could read story of my life

Blamed all and sundry for my pains

Never questioned the selfish aims

Went holy places to seek His blessings

Never knew heart are His dwellings

Fought the Satan and his tribe

Never the selfish ego & false pride

Guess this is what life is like... You take all the time in the world and still keep on musing whether you know even a thing or not. Nice write :)

Inspired by the words of Bullehshah, the Rumi of the sub-continent.

Good write, my freind. I think that we become so overwhelmed with life and with reasons and purposes that we forget the soul's divine puropse, which is to live and experience. To love is to love ourselves first and foremost and then we can truly be giving and open. :) I like your comparing in this poem and I like that it says so much being short. I am always pleased to read your writings. :) Have a good one.

[WILDERNESS]

I am truly humbled by your words ....................... so nice of you in caring to read and review.

[MsJewel]

Your words are honest and heartfelt my friend.

Heaven is found within the self, so I believe...we can search an eternity (or several) and still not find it unless we accept we ourselves hold the key to life...potent wandering :)

[WILDERNESS]

Wise words indeed dear Poppy; but aren't we taught otherwise............ Know thyself and make your world is the truth but then where is destiny............................ anyhow, thanks for reviewing.

[Ruth]

We are taught otherwise Wilderness, indeed but in my opinion, if we do not accept ourselves and be the light we naturally are, we miss the point of that connection, my pleasure, as always :)

thanks dear, wish had the space to discuss at length with you.
