The Spiritual Path
I have been to the top of lesser mountain,
they were okay, the view
was a little cloudy.
I have been to the bottom of
of deep gorges -
it was not that bad,
there were yellow weeds in the shadows,
a trickle of water.
It is thought that the pleasant valley
is the place,
but of course, that is where we
all hope one day
to comfortably die.
Other’s struggle to the highest peaks,
yet if they have anything to say,
it’s just:
“The struggles was too long,
and the summit disappointing.”
The ones that did not struggle,
took no path or journey,
nor sought to travel anywhere,
they alone know
the Way.
