What is Within You
Within you is a yearning spanning hundreds of years
A yearning for a simpler life
Technology and luxury will not fulfill you
Peace cannot be found in a hectic city life
Move to open spaces and open your mind
Live as you need and not any more
Plant a garden; grow your own food,
The answer you are looking for will not be found in possessions
You do not need a large house to observe the enormity of nature
Listen to the birds, watch the trees sway in the cool breeze
Find your peace in what is real
Within you is power, power to break free from the slavery and monotony of life
And leave to where you can truly be fulfilled
You may find it in a sunset over a creek,
You may find it in catching a fish,
You may find it in the beauty of life and death
But rest assured, you can find what is within you
