If there were Maybe

                                                                               Maybe

I had to be foolish enough

to lose you first,

in order to realize -

how much you are meant for me

Maybe

I had to get fed up with -

keeping running away from myself first,

in order to –

get close to my self

 Maybe

I had to be tested -

through various trials and detours first,

in order to –

have my faith strengthened

 Maybe

I had to exhaust myself -

in all the doings and fixings first,

in order to –

appreciate just in being

Maybe

I had to experience necessarily -

the ugliness, the selfishness first,

in order to –

treasure the true beauty 

and the true love

 Maybe

I had to walk through life’s dark valleys

with the dreadful sickness,

the withering youth,

and the fearful death,

in order to –

learn and master the art of letting go

Maybe

I had to make myself aware enough of –

the sufferings and hypocrisies around ,

and the endless sorrow in my own heart first,

in order to –

fire up the desire to heal the others

through healing my own broken heart

 Maybe

I had to get tired of  myself -

carrying those old heavy baggages 

around and around first,

in order to –

be ready to make the space for the new

 Maybe

I had to experience –

the inner unrests and discontents first,

in order to –

open for my soul’s workings

 Maybe

I had to foot thousands miles -

seeking and questioning first,

in order to 'wow' at -

My highest truth is already

within each breath of mine

 Maybe

I had to struggle through life after life

towards my perfection for the worth first,

just in order to –

understand God's grand humor-

Everything is already at its perfect place;

I AM already perfect as I AM
