The Unknown
I have a little
secret
It is not from
anywhere special
Or from anyone I
know
It is a dream I had
A fountain of beauty
stays hidden
Inside my
non-academic eye
I have to let go of
my thoughts
And wander into the
realm of the unknown
This is not a
restricted area
It is a place of
abundance
Not many people dare
to come here
Only because you
have to be “you”
And only the true
“you” can be allowed inside
Many people are
afraid of their nakedness
It is not that they
are hiding scars or their broken heartedness
They are afraid of
the unknown
It is the fear of
the unknown
That separates you
from your true self
You have to undress
yourself of any fear
And be willing to
drink from the river of love
Don’t hold onto any
attachments
Just let go of your
ugliness
The fermentation of
your solid thoughts
Causes so much pain
and sorrow
The degradation of
your inner beauty
Causes the putrid
smell of your emotions
There is no decay
inside the real you
There is only
beauty, happiness, peace, freedom and Love
The unknown is not a
hideout
It is a place of
refreshment and nourishment
It is a sanctuary
for the spirit
A place of rest for
the body, mind and soul
Now, it is your turn
To come inside the
substance of consciousness
And be re-absorbed
into your being
This is not a dream
