Verse

Out there

Amid the hustle n bustle 

In the swoosh of

Leaves that ruffle

Zooms of automobiles 

Racing through ambitious lanes

I look to find

The treasure.

Out there in people’s gazes

Their actions and smiles 

Their judgements and approvals

I look up and down

Far and wide

I look among branches 

That thing I cannot find.

Out there

In riches and trophies

In money and medals

There’s everything there is to be

I thought!

But the void prevails

And out there

I find no solace

No trace of Grace

Till one day

I close the door

Shut my senses 

And look inside!

Out there 

There’s a whole world

But in here

It is!
