Self has a great potential, only if we choose to explore- sometimes we surprise our own selves with what we are capable of achieving...
Journey of Self
On a journey of self-exploration,I am the traveller; I am the destination
Others seek advise with the wise
I am absorbed in self-contemplation
Stars shine bright; it is their plight,
One shines brightest in the constellation
The whole world drives ahead and strives
Only one's endeavour reaches its culmination
There are mysteries galore to explore,
My own potential holds for me a fascination
Others may write with aplomb and élan
My poesy require a lot of imagination.
