Overwhelmed

I am overjoyed
I am overfilled
my cup runneth over

Life has taken a different turn
I am caught in this poetry world
and has become addicted to it I cannot sleep

when I thought that the journey of my life was complete
I found myself crying out to the universe to be a free atlas!
that there is so much inside of me that I still must learn to forgive

to understand wisdom and to recognize my purpose of birth
I must look within myself and see where the mirror of imagination rest
to reach my destiny there remains so much more that I can do

I must first surrender the burning desires which haunt my mind
and to sit in silence to become the true sage at this point
where I can use my perspective of truth and shape the future

There are so many questions that remain to be answered
what will I take with me to eternity where my Father awaits
there are so many unfinished poems that I must answer to

In this golden age of mine, the challenge has opened my eyes
it's not too late to encapsulate my dreams and bring them to reality
the fountain of my soul flows seamlessly with time

fate has taught me wisdom and how to overcome the world
to accept life's challenges and see how the mystery continues to unfold
this is not by chance but a unique gift at the right moment to lead

I started this journey even before I entered my Mother's womb
and the pathways to cross have already taken its course
the journey ahead there are yet storms which I will meet

Faith will lead my feet into that unknown path I must conquer
I was born especially designed to build the castle of my heart
to bring out the words of inspiration locked inside of my soul

my hands are empty and my mind is beginning to get tired
tired of the illusion that burns to reduce this garment into ashes
soon the doorway of eternal silence will open to sit on the throne

I must remain overwhelmed to receive the everlasting joy
whatever I leave in this world cannot be no fault of mine
I have come to realize that this entire creation is a perfect dream

without any mistake, without any unfulfilled desires
I am fortunate to be what I am and to leave this testimony
that will forever be enshrined in the hearts of humanity

the light I see in myself is the same light I see everywhere
this entire universe is only an atom ready to outburst
every soul is like a bubble that carries the whisper of silence inside

I am overjoyed
I am overfilled
my cup runneth over.
