A Light-Bearer

I am a light-bearer;
opening doors
so that together
we may seek--

Of course, there 
are no answers,

just questions...
leading to questions;
for we are a species
of seekers, divinely 
clothed in the solver's
garments...

solutions not found
on the path, but in
the maker of paths;
not found in the
mind, but in a 
maze of minds, 
in the tender
of walls, the
pruner of our foot-
steps, keeping asps
from our heals
and scorpions from
our toes. The only
real, is the sense
of being, but in 
the spirit-illusion:
the wise knowing
there is no life,
no consciousness
that excludes the
intangible of faith;
looking from the
outside in, I can 
be certain only
that I think 
I think—no more.
