I Met Myself Poem by shweta advani

I Met Myself

Rating: 4.9


I was scheduled
to attend a meeting
which was supposed
to start at five
I reached a bit
early at quarter to five
When I entered
the meeting room
it was all empty
I sat down
n waited for others
to come
I looked at the
roof, gazed at the walls...
and played with my phone...
Then looked at my watch
it was still Four fifty...
Only five min.had passed

I wondered how uncomfortable
I was with silence
n couldn't sit with myself
for five min..
Couldn't enjoy the peace
without the turmoil and noise...

But as time passed
I started to look within..
I suddenly met myself
n laughed at the discovery..
It was beautiful to unravel a mystery..
I had been running
all over to find peace
but it was here right underneath
closer than I thought
It was within me..
It was me...
The clock struck five.
n others joined in to start the meeting

But I had already
had the most beautiful
meeting
With Peace
With Love
With Happiness
With Light
With Joy
With Me..

Good poem. Just one point, " I suddenly met myself n laughed at the discovery.." ‘to laugh at' means to make fun of. That does not gel with the rest of the poem.

These are nice verses. Moments of silence can help one realize, the meaning of life.
