The Substance Of My Soul Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Every time I stray away
Into the murky waters of life
I find myself stripped
Of all my peace
The substance of my soul
Clouded by all the impurities of the world
Like a dark night sky
My path is hidden
My light is lost
I am a particle of life
That lost its way
But then
I know where to go
To retrace my steps
Into the river of pearls
Where I will be drained
Of all thoughts and emotions
And my empty bowl
Will be filled with Silence
It's here where I will put on the garment of light
And my path will be illuminated
My body, mind and soul united
Into a lake of nothingness
In this stillness
I am home
In my nest
Where poetry is weaved
And Love is poured
On the fabric of existence
It's a beautiful place
High on the branches of consciousness
Everything is full of clarity
And my view is not of this world
The substance of my soul is at peace again
