There are highways that lead
inside  into yourself
walk on one until your reach
a vast open space
where you have rested in wait
for everything to fall into place.

Watch for the shooting star
that comet blazing across your sky
play your numbers right
find peace in patience
share the weight of the heavy load
contemplate

in a brief moment
the implosion will cleanse
your innermost desires
and once again you will walk
into the blinding light of knowing
that, at last, you have escaped from a cage
and you have set yourself free!

Author Notes

Self-knowledge is critically important to set yourself free from all *******. The first Key to Contemplation and Peace is to know who you are and why you exist on this earth. Listen to yourself first before you listen to others.

This is the second poem in the series on Contemplation. The first one was titled: Solitude.

These poems will appear in my 8th Book: Keys to Contemplation. Comments on your understanding ow what the poem means to you are highly appreciated.
