Why the Unknown?

Why do we dwell in the quest of happiness only?
Why are we not content within and keep wanting for some more?
Why to run behind the unknown nestling in the future?
Why the zeal to believe that every dark tunnel has a light of hope at the end?        Why so hasty to heal ?  
How about settling for what we have at the moment and counting our blessings?
How about acknowledging the courage we behold to take the journey through a dark tunnel?
How about halting for a moment to absorb the vivid offerings we already have from life and not drag ourselves to something unknown?
Why not see the darkness first and then run for some light?
Why the need for healing and not the beauty of pain itself?
Why escape and not confront?
Why wear masks of discomfort and pretend joy?
Why not carry a brave heart to accept life as it comes?
It's all in us, within thy mind.
We limit ourselves to standards, to rigid norms of the unknown, the society?!
An outcome of our fears,and insecurities?!
But why?!
Fear not I say!
Fake not I plead!
Rise! I command!
For yourself. 
Embrace thy pain in love.
Touch the fear in faith.
Uproot the doubts,
Spare the gain.
You need not know the unknown,
For you have seeds of today to be sown.
Believe, I say!
In yourself for once,
For the moment for once,
For the journey for once.
Stay with time.
Don't run, don't bleed.
Just breathe.
For you will pave through,
All that comes your way.
Faith, hope, fear, guilt...
Give not a name.
It's you who define, it's you whose efforts go in vein.
Thereby, stay!
Speak not, share not.
Just feel.
Its you and the world.
No give no take.
But Accept.
As time flows, as the story unfolds.
Don't question but experience.
Come what may, just behold!
This is you,
Feeling, enjoying, sensing and breathing.
Stay I say! Don't move.
Beautiful is this, not tomorrow.
Life is this, not yesterday.
Moment is this, undefined and pure.
Not an inch more to assure.
This is life, this is cure.
A warm abode, both deep and secure.
