Truth Within

A poem

Don’t ask for the answers.
How can they be grasped?
They rise like sound 
of waves, in the sea 
always present, 
always passing by.


Don’t ask others what is truth.
truth can’t always be 
found in another
Though One truth alone,
Innate in our fitrah(nature),
Awaits the heart that 
dare to see clear.


Don’t ask the monk what’s hidden
he also has only empty words.
If you seek the truth,try 
finding it in your experience
in pain and in love.


For the deepest truths 
are often unspoken 
understood only 
through lived moments.


They arrive unexpectedly like
the scent of garden flowers
So, pause and embrace them
accept the gifts they bring
before they wither away.
Here, for the breath and then gone.
