Notes About The Poem
Perhaps each precious moment is truly all there is.
Coming Or Going Not
Coming Or Going Not
by Odin Roark
Such might be the way
Where bearings
Like yin and yang
Energize one another
How early we pick goals
Paths seems endless
We start
Yet quickly find interest off course
Amidst the untraveled choices
We find flower-covered tundra
Unexpected ruts
Fissures beneath
Deep recesses of chance
Unchartered lessons
Part way
We question
Go East
West
Ascend
Descend
At some point
The vortex of decision
Swirls our sense of harmony
We panic as if to stumble
Only to find
Without submitting to the precarious
We learn not our balance
We ask
Without such equanimity
Can the markers ever be ignored?
To be consummate
That sense of not needing
To be coming or going
Where all signposts are faceless
Is to know one’s true heading
The being in exquisite sync
With the now
