The Path
He crawls
on his hands and knees towards the light
with his head to the earth
he has not yet seen the light
with strength he continues
He looks up
with head held high
he sees the glow of paradise
with arms streched he bekons it
with courage he continues
He walks
with strength and conviction
he races towards this light
through stone and grass and sand and snow
with anticipation he continues
He ponders
Having seen and traveled so long
he sits and rests
so close yet so far away he sits
with thought he anticipates his next move
He prays
with voice that pierces silence
he calls to the light
there is no answer but there is
with faith he continues
He ages
old and grey he falls to his earth
he looks at the light
the light calls to him to join it
with release he dies
He rises
to the infinite light he arose
finally what was sought has been achived
granted is the light sought for
with pleasure he is home
He is reborn
filled with strength he watches over
to watch over all creatures making the journey
he makes those who follow free
with intelect those who follow are rewarded...
