Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.

- Rumi

Take Me Home


Take me away,
Away from Conscience,
Away from Judgments,
Away from Conflicts,
Away from Sight,
Away from Perceptions,
Away from Touch,
Away from Me
Away to a Home.

Take me to a Park,
To sit on one of the benches
Force me to ponder ,
Force me to talk,
Force me to confess,
Listen when I talk,
Abuse when I lie,
Hold me when I Cry.


Take me to the Hills,
Let me run,
Push me off the cliffs
Hold me before I fall,
Show me the highest peak
Challenge my own height,
Point out to the foothills
Scare me with their depths.

Take me to the Waterfalls,
Take a handful of the clear water,
Question my own purity,
Look me in the eyes
And tell me they are shallow,
Toss me down the falls
And save me before I drown.

Take me to a Cemetry,
Make me count the tombs,
Confuse me with death,
Make me yearn for life,
Ask me to suicide
And stop me before I attempt.

Help me sort myself,
And confuse me when I find peace,
Weaken my convictions
And give me new ones to believe.
Laugh at my ignorance,
Smile at my innocence,
Take me to Tranquility,
Lead me to truth,
Deafen my ears, 
Strengthen my voice,
Tell me I am Right,
Tell me I am Free,
Take me to You,
And tell me I am Home!

but then its the conflict that u are trying to go away from which will lead you to the state u search for. its within u i guess, the will for such a journey as well as the means to achieve it, though destination is not worth reaching. its the journey that holds the charm :-)

No its exactly like this.. even if u try to go away u cant because u find an equilibrium whre u ll be most comfortable with.. nice approach to view a sincere relation ( or its how most of the people want to be )
