Within the jungle of me

I am in myself like a deep dark jungle,

Large areas of me lay unexplored,

I am not sure sometimes if I want to venture in deeper

To places that I have never been before,

I worry about things I may find

Maybe I won’t like what I discover,

Underneath the bracken and the dense canopy

What if I realise I don’t like the real me.

Then maybe I will discover aspect deeply exotic

Maybe a lover who desires things more erotic,

Maybe I see things very differently

Discovering I have newly uncovered beliefs,

Deep in the jungle of myself

There are places I’ve never been,

These undiscovered places are alien to me

Maybe I will find spiritual alien seed,

Find the core deep within me

Discover if if healthy or diseased,

Finally I hope I find the source of my love and light

And maybe under the canopy of me,

I will discover the center of my inner peace,

And once seen, will I still retain love unconditionally,

For all people I meet and for me,

In the depth of the jungle

Will I finally find release,

Or will it entrap and lose me,

So I’ll never find myself again under the canopy

Of the jungle that is within me,

That is dark wild and deep

That holds all the secrets of me,

And who I truly am and what I want to be

Within deep I may discover everything I want to see.
