Because Of You Poem by Minerva Agriam

Because of you, I kept
Wondering along this earth;
Admiring things and beauties,
Nature and natural essence,
Clogged my selfish silt.

All the empty wanderings,
Did not bring any goodness;
Soul and spirit lacked bliss,
Insatiable flesh longed and dared,
While the mind closed to self.

Abundance tasted bland,
Glittery things lacked goodness;
Gifts and freedom never mind;
Emptiness was all I had.

In one wink of blithe time,
Strangers whirled upon my eyes;
Nothingness and destituteness,
Pushed upon my picky side;
Nowhere to hide my wantingness!

Because of you emptiness flew!
Because of you wandering ends!
Because of you I had tasted sweetness!
Because of you everything suddenly is fine!
Because of you life has become beautiful as you!
