The Furthest Point Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the realm of the spirit
The furthest point is normally very near
It is not distance that separates spiritual beings
It is the absence of peace, hope, happiness and love
That keeps the spirit away from God
In the world of Man
The furthest point is normally found in our thoughts and emotions
The darkness of loneliness and the abyss of sorrow
We have always thought distance really matters in the affairs of Man
But it is the matters of the spirit that really occupies the heart of Man
We can talk about the logical mind all we want
But it is the fantastic sense of our spiritual inheritance that occupies our lives
Our lives are nothing without spiritual fulfilment in our hearts
We can be the best at everything we do but without hope
We are doomed to the life of meaninglessness
We can dominate all fields of success
But without Love we are forever poor
Now, let us free ourselves from the illusion of the mind
And hold the Truth in our hands and heart
Let us accept our spiritual inheritance
And we will find our way to the realm of peace, happiness and love
It is not spiritual enlightenment
It is common sense
We are all spiritual beings
