Journey of Essence (#87)

Journey of Essence In our quest for spiritual sight, We seek in hearts an open light. True joy, so oft in riches sought, Transcends what gold and gems have bought. For those in wealth's embrace so tight, Joy's quest is like a starry night, Where camels through the needle's eye, Must pass, a truth that money belies. This tale, a mirror to the soul, Warns those who seek an effortless goal, Like fruits without their seeded core, A shallow wish, and nothing more. In life's vast and woven art, We're calves at dawn, with dreams to start, Longing for grass, so fresh and new, While lions roam as nature's true. A myriad paths under the sun, In this grand dance, we're all but one. Each seeking, true to our own core, The innate essence we explore. -Written by Steven G. Lee (January 19, 2024)
