A man who found me seeking; asked me to go within
I asked him if he had seen anything but his response was pretty thin
A woman who found me seeking; claimed she had seen the God within
I asked if seeing God meant anything; her behaviour said she hadn’t been within

A man who found me seeking; asked me not to seek or feel sorry for anything
He said it is God who must be seeking; and not the other way of being
A woman who found me seeking; claimed God is for the losers therein
She didn’t know that I knew that she was always weeping within

A man who found me seeking; asked me to follow him within
He thought I was following him; he continued outside while I went within
A woman who believed in control; said she could control anything
But when she was jilted she couldn’t control the tears springing from within

A female kid who found me seeking asked me if I was seeking kith and kin
I replied in the negative for I had none to live with in my home so dim
A male child who found me seeking; asked me what I was truly seeking
I found its innocence enchanting and decided to remain with him

I asked myself what I was seeking; was it my material happiness, if anything?
Was it something more that I couldn’t express or just another ordinary thing?
I realized that I was seeking everything other than the holiness within
I then realized that I should shut up and go deep within
