ME....



I looked for me,
I was her and she,
What was I?
Doing what and why?
I roamed around
The sky and the ground,
The depth of the blue oceans
I scanned.


Looking in the flowers,
In their beautiful colours,
In the drizzle of the rainfall,
The gushes of the waterfall,
Feeling me in the cool showers,
Peeping inside the bellflower, 
Touching to look inside the fluffy parcels,
As the small white clouds in the sunlight sparkle.


Flying on the wings of butterflies,
With the birds too I did fly,
Climbed the tall trees,
Asked the lady bird and the bees,
Travelled through deserts,
In conditions adverse,
Went to the top of the peaks,
Swam into the bays and creeks.


Nobody answered,
Looking for me I was tired,
My body said stop,
I was about to give it all up,
Suddenly a light shone,
Within me something was shown,
There was me, within myself,
Me smiling at the self.


I realised who was me,
In every creation myself I see,
In sheer joy I step on the sand,
Hear the winds playing like a band,
My feet meet the waves of the ocean
And break into an ecstatic dance,
Finding a answer to my existence,
Happily I accept in acquiescence. 


Now a happy soul,
Finding my goal,
One with the Universe,
I sing out a verse,
My voice reaching out to infinity,
My feet dancing till eternity,
I am within myself, I am me,
Where ever I go or be!
