Behind the Gate

Journey to Unseen Reality

In the glow of daylight, shadows play,

A simple timeless story here to stay.

His monthly earnings more than all my needs, my guard gets paid,

But for my needs, I tread a path unchanged

For studies, I spend a fraction,

For health, the bare minimum to stay alive,

Borrowing light and warmth to illuminate my path,

Balancing debts, fearing the unknown of tomorrow.

“Beware your neighbors,” my guard will wisely warn,

But inside, I feel no worry.

It’s funny, though, I see,

My guard lives a life richer than mine could ever be.

Each loan grows, burdened to the sky,

But in my soul, I touch the limitless sky.

He warns of lurking dangers all around,

Yet within, deeper truths abound.

No treasures of gold I desire,

Only inner light to lift me higher.

Though my pockets seem bare, my true wealth shines bright,

A fearless heart, strong in its light

With each new dawn, I awaken anew,

To greet the world through eyes refreshed and true.

The soul’s wealth, pure and bright,

Guide me through the darkest night.

Thus I stand, with clarity of spirit,

Living life without a fear.
