The Golden Fleece Poem by Arti Chopra

an ocean of calm within my heart,
vast, unending, like the blue sea
I close my eyes and savour the peace,
for I have found the golden fleece.

I search around in the corners of my mind,
to see an enchanting emptiness,
from the depths of despair, to the peaks of joy
life has taught me well, under duress

the circle has been completed,
and so many lessons learnt,
I am now finally at peace,
a haven of contentment, well earned

and in this ocean of emptiness
dwells many a grateful thought,
I learnt to handle both highs and lows,
I learnt to be happy with my lot.

for this ocean of emptiness
is not easy to come by
we search for it outside ourselves
whereas within us it lies.

so beautiful and so welcome,
this oasis of loving peace
after many trials and tribulations
I found the golden fleece.
