There is no path

May 24, 2022

There is

No path,

No journey

From here

To there.

There is

No there

To get to.

You could say

"Only here!"

But there is

No here

Without

There.

No path

To follow,

No steps

To climb,

No gateway

To go through,

No practices

Needed,

In preparing

To ascend!

No waiting

Until I'm

Ready.

Your journey

Is just

A story,

All the more

Beautiful,

And tragic,

And wonderful

For being

Just a story.

You never

Travelled

To get here,

And you cannot

Move away.

No one

Ever arrives.

No one

Ever left.
