Guru
so long have I been searching
for answers
for masters
for maps
for treasures
so long have I denied what has always been there
so poignant, so bright, so clear
you will not know what is on the outside
until you have been in the inside
just as you cannot know which way is forward
if you never look behind you
time can stop
and empty space can end
our minds can shutdown
as energy transcends
I don’t need anymore books
to tell me what to do
or wisemen to let me know
when I have gone astray
nor do I need sunlight
to show me the way
it is all right here
flowing through my body
whispered in my ears
underneath my fingernails
in my despair in my fear
in my smiles, my tears
I am the answer i have longed for
I am the guru who never took me under his wing
I am the blocked rays of light, desperate to get in
I am the sorrow that hides behind these eyes
I am the bliss that once I could not find
no longer is it necessary
to dislike or disagree
to hate or flee
to be a slave or be free
to judge or not see
I am only needed to be myself
be what I before could not be
a guru like no other
to nobody but myself
