hidden face

i ran along the ocean to find that face i had been looking for ages,
i had just caught a glimpse when i lost sight again,
the ocean waves smashed against the the rocks,
as if to discourage me,
but my inner self told me i had to find that hidden face..

i continued the journey without the sense of the world around me,
i grew insensitive to the happenings around me,
i who was always a athesist, now hoped for help,
but my inner self told me i had to find that hidden face..

the long barriers i had to cross,
i knew not off,
i had no clue how many more thorns lay in my path,
i just hoped i met that one rose that would grow a new hope in me,
i was so near to despair and so far from dreams,
but my inner self told me i had to find that hidden face...

my eternal self,
my inner mode,
kept up hope and pulled me along,
till one day i met that rose i looked for so far,
my dreams, my ambitions were glaring at me,
i was satisfied but still unsatisfied,
the human nature conquered me,
i was so close,
but why was i still lost,
i realised the hidden face was me...
