A Glimpse Within

Can I tell you how I’m feeling?
I’d love to, if I knew how.
All those words I’d hoped to find,
All those thoughts I’ve spent my life trying to grasp.

Yes, what I’ve searched for has been there all along;
In the din and the glare,
No bells or whistles,
No complications,
Only quietness and confidence.
These are my strengths.
No need to make them anything more.

In trust, in truth- virtues long abandoned; no, forgotten.

Tell me what you see, deep inside.
Can you grasp within you that what you seek has been there all along.

You are enough.

The words echo in my mind as though spoken in a dream.
