A Riddle Within

Self-realization about what has been missing.

A Riddle Within
 
Days pass by with emptiness inside.
My heart tells me its something I hide.
I look to find a riddle to crack,
And words to show what I lack.
 
"What can never be bought;
Yet is always sought?
What can one achieve,
If they just believe?
What can never be lost,
Even at the highest the cost?
What can bring smiles,
Which will last for miles?
What can one depend on,
Once it seems all is gone?"
 
The answer came quite clear.
It was nothing to fear.
Love is something to gain.
It's the journey that holds the pain.
These thoughts now become engraved,
And have made it so that my road is paved.
