Finding Your Way Home | Tebuireng Online

Finding Yourself
I walk on a nameless road
walking through the silent silence
among the shadows that ask each other
who am I behind a mortal body

the wind carries the whispers of fallen prayers
like aging leaves on the edge of time
I stared at the cracked mirror
and I saw a face looking for direction

At the end of silence I stopped
there is no sign there is no meaning
just a soft light touching the heart
and I know God is silent here

Learn to Trust
I once fell in the dark
there I saw myself
fragile cracked and scared
but still holding on to hope

the sky is silent but understands
the earth is calm but teaches
that faith is not just a word
but rather light that grows from wounds

I walked again slowly
through time like water
and I found God not far away
This is a breath that never disappears

Way Home
Life is not about coming or going
but rather a step towards understanding
about the meaning of losing and giving
about wounds that heal the heart

I stared at the quiet sunset
and know everything will return to its origin
nothing is eternal except meaning
what remains of a surrendered soul

so I learned to be quiet
learn to be sincere towards a gentle destiny
because life is just a journey
into God’s silent embrace
