Glimpse on Serenity

This poem is a self portrait of me. It show the struggles and things that I go through on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy it.

I look upon,

the wasteland that is my mind,

covered with the debris,

from the remains of my former life.

 

Off in the distance,

I see a glimmer,

something shining,

to catch my eye.

 

But it is too far,

for me to travel now,

but soon I will reach it,

and behold what it is.

 

Day by day,

I wander through this wasteland,

hoping to find some usable scrap,

to put my life back together again.

 

But only small fragments remain,

of lost love,

of happiness,

and dreams of what could be.

 

Still I wander,

I still see the shining object,

beckoning me to find it,

it is larger now and brighter.

 

On occasion,

I do find a scrap of a former memory,

that brings a tear to my eye,

of an event from my life.

 

Slowly and surely,

I make my way,

closer to the shining object,

and it still grows in size and scope.

 

Sometimes I am distracted,

from the goal I seek,

by someone I despise,

and forced to take a moment to pause.

 

But still I look,

to make sure,

that it is still there,

waiting for me.

 

As I approach,

I can at last see what it is,

something that I have longed for,

since the beginning of it all.

 

It is the serenity to my life,

something I thought was long gone,

and almost forgotten,

in the wasteland of my mind.

 

As I approach,

I can feel its embrace,

the feeling of joy swallowing me whole,

and giving me the peace that I seek.

 

Serenity has found me at last,

I am now at peace,

with my life,

and ready to move on with my life anew.

I get this poem. That little light in the distance, only ready when you are. We just have to ride this out, through all kinds of terrain and when we find that little little light ,blow on it until it becomes a bonfire. This is your journey and I wish you peace,love and clarity, cheers jude

This poem exudes courage and reminds me of the fact that you cannot give up on finding the peace in your life. If you're patient and dedicated you'll come across it. Very emotional poem. It really resonated with me.
