IN THE INNER WORLD

How am I to extinguish this fire
Where am I to find a solace

I wandered from street to street
Was rejected everywhere and abhorred

The sharp edge of humiliation
Blinded me to the outer world

Masquerades and manipulations
Forced me inward, into meditation

Mine inner eyes started opening
Akin to that of a blossoming infant

Thus I saw a new world, in it a new life
It was different in that it got meaning

Sincerity and toil never orphans
The best of companions and virtues

Now in the seven storied building of art
I too will light a candle.
