Do Not Forget Yourself

as you freely roam on this earth
curving your own path in
the wilderness, 

as you stray away in search of 
a path to place the world 

tries desperately to hide 

as you search for a path 

that will lead you to your destiny 

a path to happiness 

I beg of you one thing 

do not forget about yourself 

do not forget to search for yourself 

in the blooming flowers, 

in the age-old rocks, 

in the chirping birds 

in the soft blowing breeze, 

in the erotic of embrace of the wild 

because, as we search for meaning 

in our lives, 

we forget ourselves 

and when we find meaning 

we realize too late, 

that we lost ourselves, 

rendering our lifelong wanders 

meaningless
