From My Vantage Point, I Gaze Poem by Mohammad Younus

From my vantage point, I gaze
Upon the winding road of my life.
Shadowed mind, I ask you:
Where did I stray?
What path led me to anguish,
What burden etched these scars—
Bullied, battered, torn?

Yet amidst the darkness,
Enlightenment tastes sweet,
A nectar of golden triumph,
Breaking illusions, dissolving chains.

My inner child stirs,
Whispering, yearning,
And I listen with care,
Answering his gentle pleas for solace.

Tireless, I tread the straight path,
Each step guided by love.
Closing my eyes, I escape the mind's clamor,
Floating in serene dreamscapes,
Until the Divine hand pulls me close.

In His presence, I simply am.
Let no fleeting beauty tempt me—
Immortal, I have no fear of death.

I am the joy in my mother's smile,
The love that lights every soul.
I am the moon in the quiet room,
The secret that cannot be untold.

I am peace, infinite and true,
Embrace in open arms.
I am the epitome, the essence,
Undeniable truth revealed.

And now I smile—
At everyone, at everything,
For I have found
The truth within.
