My world is changing.
Truths as I once knew them, are being redefined.
When I looked at mountains, I used to see majestic beauty.
When I witnessed sunrises, I used to find strenth and hope.
When I looked at newborn children, I used to see unconditional love.
I was content for I thought I found the quintessentials of true beauty,
strength, hope and love: the recipe for happiness.
Something was not right, but I did not understand, did not comprehend.
I saw beauty and my soul did not look. I received strength and hope
and my soul was not lifted up. I saw love and my soul was not
overjoyed.
I felt empty inside beholding all these things because my soul was searching elsewhere, if only it knew what it was looking for.
The endless search has come to an end. It has been found. I am at peace for my soul is at peace.
I found the beauty that makes it watch. I found the strength and hope that lifts it up. I found the love that fills it with joy.
I found you.
