Self Finding Journeys

I dive deeply to silence,
sinking in blissful solitude,
inhaling and exhaling in relieve,
probing every room of the heart in calmness,
closing eyes, losing control,
investigating the inner, aware of the outer,
calming the busy and branch thought,
attempting to recall and research principle in the internal world,
I find myself.

I run swiftly to flee,
moving in hasten,
taking gasped breath in hurry,
listening to heartbeat, gripping footstep,
neglecting around, focusing on my path,
coping with barriers and obstacles,
defeating the ultimate enemy,
trying to understand and discover meaning in the external world,
I find myself.

In the midst of those two journeys,
in the end of the day,
at least, the one that I would not like to lose is myself.
