The Person Who Held the Mirror to My Soul.
This piece is dedicated to him…
“You are fearless, you have a third eye
You create, you protect, you destroy
You are ascetic, you are hedonist
You belong to someone, you desire someone
You teach, you scold, you bestow the wisdom
For my phenomenal progression, you are the reason
The serpent around your neck was enough for my heart
Still, you killed me by your touch
You enlighten everyone
But for me you are the only one.
You are a sense of strength, a feeling of power
You are the reason of joy, you are the motivator
I pray you listen, I weep you hear, you punish, you bless
I surrender myself to you in all aspects.”
I’m writing this blog as a dedication to the all-knowing person who provided me the motivation to write.
The omnipotent himself walked into my life as an educator and completely transformed my way of thinking.
It felt as if a wise mentor had appeared to help me grasp the true essence of life.
I’ve always had a desire to write, but I often felt that I had other priorities to attend to before I could begin writing. I consistently suppressed this aspiration and never nurtured it.
When that person came into my life and taught me how to truly live, pursue my passions, and listen to my heart’s desires, I was genuinely amazed. Their guidance inspired me to begin my writing journey.
Earlier I used to believe that pain was a prerequisite for writing, but he made me realize that I can write if I want to. With a pen and paper in hand, I began to describe him.
After finishing, I myself was engrossed with my own writing, my own creation, my own imagination and felt overwhelmed. I realized that the person similar to the all-knowing guide who takes our hand and leads us back to the path of life.
I understood how important I am to myself.
Most importantly, he taught me how to love myself because without self-love, it’s difficult to truly love others.
This poem was an outburst of immense happiness, contentment, and a profound sense of blessing. Later on, I made the decision to leave my well-paying job and embark on my writing journey, a passion that had been with me since my youth, even when I had consistently ignored its call.
