Lost Religion, Found God: The Seeker's Journey

Shackles of creed, traditions decreed,

Weighed down my soul with dogma's greed.

Rituals and rules, a gilded cage,

Failed to unveil truth's sacred page.

Hypocrisy reigned in hallowed halls,

Erecting fortresses of towering walls.

Religion's garb, a masquerade,

Concealed the divine light's true shade.

Yet deep within, a spark still burned,

For the Eternal, my heart yearned.

God's essence pure, beyond man's rites,

Beckoned me forth to greater heights.

So I turned my back on the village path,

Escaping the shackles of rigid wrath.

With only faith as my guiding star,

I ventured forth, journeying far.

Through deserts vast and mountain peaks,

My soul its sustenance seeks.

In nature's grandeur, God's love unfurls,

Unveiling truths the dogma furls.

Each step, a prayer, each breath, a hymn,

Drawing me closer to the Divine gem.

No creed, no rules, just heart's pure essence,

Guiding me home, to Love's presence.
