The Flame Within

Deep in the silence of my soul,

A flame flickers, an ember aglow,

A voice that whispers, a call to be heard,

A longing that's felt, but can't be put to words.

It's a quest for meaning, a search for truth,

A yearning for wisdom, to guide my youth,

A need to connect, with something divine,

To find a purpose, that's truly mine.

The journey is long, and the path is winding,

There are many obstacles, that need unwinding,

But I keep on going, with each step I take,

For the fire within, never seems to abate.

I explore the world, with an open heart,

I listen to others, and I do my part,

To be kind and compassionate, to lend a hand,

To make a difference, in this wondrous land.

And as I walk, this road less traveled,

I find the answers, that were once unraveled,

I see the beauty, in the simple things,

I feel the joy, that each moment brings.

For in the end, it's not the destination,

But the journey itself, that's the true revelation,

It's the love we give, and the love we receive,

That makes life worth living, and helps us believe.
