The Journey Within
By: Aleksandra Pawlowska
Behind the closed door
in an empty room
is a traveller
Without lifting a finger
without moving her feet
She sets to discover
the lands of her own
Every corner
of the world
that is herself
The customs
and the ruling
and the laws
and the language
that she has written for herself
As she closes her eyes
she sees clearly
the breathtaking view
she has never looked at before
The imprints
of the wind and sandstorms
are written in the horizon
The intensity of the sun
and the healing of the rain
What else is there to do
than to marvel
at the view
To marvel
at every path
every crossing
every hurdle
that it took to get here
What a journey
it has been
this making of herself
What a journey
it will be
making herself homely
here
in the most beautiful place in the world
named
Me
