**Journey to Enlightenment**

In the silence of the dawn, a whisper calls,
Through valleys deep and ancient forest halls.
A seeker treads a path both old and new,
Where shadows fall and morning light breaks through.

With every step, the world begins to fade,
Illusions melt like dew in sunlight's blade.
The noise of life, its clamor and its din,
Grows distant as the soul turns deep within.

The journey's end is neither near nor far,
A place beyond the furthest shining star.
In quiet stillness, truth begins to speak,
A language only heart and spirit seek.

Through trials faced and inner demons fought,
The seeker learns what sages long have taught:
That in the heart's deep core, a light does shine,
A spark of something timeless, pure, divine.

Mountains climbed and rivers crossed with care,
Each moment is a breath, a living prayer.
The worldly binds unfasten one by one,
Till all that's left is radiance of the sun.

In wisdom's light, illusions fall apart,
The seeker finds the way within the heart.
No longer lost in dreams of night and day,
Enlightenment reveals the timeless way.

A union with the cosmos, vast and grand,
The seeker stands with open heart and hand.
The journey’s end is where it all began,
The drop returns to ocean, whole and span.

So walk the path with courage, love, and grace,
For enlightenment’s a journey, not a race.
In every step, a glimpse of truth is found,
In silence, in the sacred, holy ground.
