Peace within

PEACE WITHIN

One has to undergo severe
Mental and physical sufferings
Agony and turmoil in life
Before arriving at the Truth
A testing time, a period
Of severe anguish and pain.
On arriving at the Truth
You reach the stream
Of fresh, soothing waters
To quench the thirst
To gain moments of
Ecstasy, joy and Supreme –
Bliss, to bring peace within
And enlighten the dark soul.
