They chase mirages, thirsting beneath a merciless sun, blind to the pearl buried in the ribs of endless sand. They kneel before glitter, worshipping false light, hands stained with fool’s gold, never questioning the shine. Peace is hunted like a ghost Oblivious to it as you are its host. Light no flame outside. The altar is within. What you beg the world to give has always slept beneath your breath. Tear the veil ego and ignorance Dissolve the self that asks. For the seeker and the the sought were never two.

Pearl Beneath the Sand
They chase mirages, thirsting beneath a merciless sun, blind to the pearl buried in the ribs of endless sand. They kneel before glitter, worshipping false light, hands stained with fool’s gold, never questioning the shine. Peace is hunted like a ghost Oblivious to it as you are its host. Light no flame outside. The altar is within. What you beg the world to give has always slept beneath your breath. Tear the veil ego and ignorance Dissolve the self that asks. For the seeker and the the sought were never two.
