Inner Longing Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

I have none, say I.
Then the mind roams inside
And feels inner landscape
Difficult to explore;
Uneasiness and emptiness
Alternate now and then.

You split into two
And the deeper self
Advises the outer of
Trappings of the inner
To calm down.

The turbulence is on material things
Money, job, health, relationship
All things located outside;
Slowly, I persuade mind to stabilize
To let go, adjust, come back
To normalcy.
