Loss or gain...?

In the light of life, so cherished as it is, I find myself asking a simple question yet again. However, this time it is not to the mirror that I adore so much, but rather it is to the skies above, and the stars beyond....

Have I lost....or have I gained....???

I seek the comfort of heart, and find it in a name...not my name, but a name of such resounding beauty to me...

I search for life, and find it in the treasured sound of a voice, not my voice, but a voice of such spoken serenity to me...

I draw a picture of the dictated images of happiness that only my heart can illustrate, and it is no folly, that the picture is not of me...

I feel for the resolution of mind that every one longs to acquire and endure, especially through hard times...and acquisition is sustained, but not because of me...

...One has found the loyal dedication to his heart, and therefore drawn the happiness of life as only he can understand, and in doing so has found consolation in the solidity of his decision.

The results of such have essentially allowed me to invest time into other aspects of life that need to be completed. However, the aspect of social communion, has therefore become nearly non-existent, and that to me is perfect.

I have surrendered my desire for lesser things, in search of higher understanding and deeper fulfillment. In doing so, have I lost or have I gained...???
