Inner Meaning

INNER MEANING

When I thought, myself alone

T’was my reality

what have known

Now, as I open my eye

Thoughtful I reflect

On all I spy

And realize

That I’m not alone

Whether I’m about

Or at home

There is music,

That takes me

To places on high

Giving me wings

Souring, I fly

I am moved

By many a scene

Of purity proved

And the joy that surrounds

Thank You, for this world I’ve seen

To the places I’ve lived

To the ones I’ve been

Thank You, for my fellow man

For each one a brother

I have found

And this I say,

Is quite profound

Thank you so much

For the gift of love

For me to share

And receive from above

I am truly not alone

When in each person, place and thing

My heart finds a home

-Shiidon, March 2011

So the clock winds down on this last day of fasting for me. I refrained from food and water during daylight hours for 19 days now. This evening the Bahá'í New Year will have arrived. It is not the abstaining from food that has had an impact on me as much as it is the cleansing of self and the recharging of the spirit. It is quite refreshing. To my Bahá'í friends, Happy New year. To the rest I wish a great first day of Spring.
