In a sunlit field
under the galaxy of stars
I built my house and I called it home.
Where the Walls of emotions
holding the Roof of thoughts.
Where Doors of desires
welcoming Guests of preconceived notions.
Where Windows of fake wisdom
were draped in the curtains of confused psyche.
My ideal place to thrive.
Everything under my control.
I was happily playing inside.
One day life naturally unfolds
It shook my world upside down.
I RAN OUT OF LIGHT
in my house so tightly packed.
Nothing can escape and nothing can enter
against my will, opposing my wishes.
The darkness I fought
with all my fiery might.
This place my home
which I called my whole world.
In the whirlpool of wisdom
my world was twirling and shattering in pieces.
I ran to fix the walls
but the storm was so strong
Broke the wall open,
roof came tumbling down.
And I found I was incredulously wrong
The warmth of nature
The light of the galaxy
The light of the sun
were waiting for me with open arms.
True happiness wasn’t far.
There was light so bright everywhere.
The darkness has vanished.
I broke my home with my own hands.
I was truly enlightened
when I banished the
house of doubts, fear, and desire.
