THE FIRE WITHIN

Pen in hand

Papers on the table

Thoughts in mind

And a lantern on the table.

Mind wandering

Like a breeze on the sea shore

Blank,as the after-rain sky

But rapidly searching for an answer

To the question of my essence

And there was a lantern on the table.

I know who i am

Through the light within.

I know the world

Through the consciousness within.

I know what i need

By the desire within.

I learnt to love

By the fire within.

I appreciate life

Through the guidance within.

I endure in adversity

By the power within.

There is a fire within

It never stops to burn

There is power in the fire within

That lightens

As the lantern on the table.
