It Is Not Easy But It Is Worth Everything Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have been on this path for some time now
It is not just courage that is required
Faith, Hope and Love are the pillars to hold onto
It is not easy to travel inside the path of Light
It is the perfect storm that will test your mantle
It will shake the core of your existence
It will empty your being of all acquired knowledge
It will annihilate the ego and dress you with nothingness
If you are easily discouraged, you will wither and rot
But if you persevere, you will gain wisdom, peace and hope
It is this wisdom that will lead you to tabernacle of being
It will lead you to the river of living water
Where you will be quenched of your thirstiness
You will be submerged into the substance of hope
The fabric of existence will be unveiled
Peace, happiness and Love will be released
And your spirit will be illuminated by the vast ocean of awareness
This is the path of Silence
It is the nakedness of our being that is celebrated
The harmonious existence of our body, mind and soul is the brightest light in all of eternity
It is the candle that will light your path
The spirit is a realm of possibilities
A beautiful garden for the seed of life to germinate, grow and be fruitful
It is a source of the everlasting Life, the most fertile form of existence
It is the substance of unconditional Love
Unconditional Love is a sacred garment of beauty
A shining armour and a fortress
Unconditional Love is the true substance of the spirit
