The promised land
was always
hidden from us
in the place
we least expected..
in the quiet place
that lies within.

There lies
the softness,
the acceptance,
the sincerest love
that gives unto itself..
The All of what
it wishes to receive.

And if that place
is hollow..
Nothing else will
ever bring enough.
To fill the void
of seeking..
one must first
release
the sought.
