The Unknown Is Not A Hideout

I have a little secret It is not from anywhere special Or from anyone I know It is a dream I had A fountain of beauty stays hidden Inside my non-academic eye I have to let go of my thoughts And wander into the realm of the unknown This is not a restricted area It is a place of abundance Not many people dare to come here Only because you have to be "you" And only the true "you" can be allowed inside Many people are afraid of their nakedness It is not that they are hiding scars or their broken heartedness They are afraid of the unknown It is the fear of the unknown That separates you from your true self You have to undress yourself of any fear And be willing to drink from the river of love Don't hold onto any attachments Just let go of your ugliness The fermentation of your solid thoughts Causes so much pain and sorrow The degradation of your inner beauty Causes the putrid smell of your emotions There is no decay inside the real you There is only beauty, happiness, peace, freedom and Love The unknown is not a hideout It is a place of refreshment and nourishment It is a sanctuary for the spirit A place of rest for the body, mind and soul Now, it is your turn To come inside the substance of consciousness And be re-absorbed into your being This is not a dream ©Kenneth Maswabi
