The Talking Truths

The youthful Thinker asked...
          "What is Life?
          How can I find the answer?"

And the wise Philosopher said...
          "Life is a tapestry to weave
          you are but a single thread."

The enlightened Student queried...
          "I must contemplate
          where I am in the weave?"

As the inspiring Teacher imparted...
          "You are the exquisite monad
          unique in all of existence."

The perplexed Scholar insisted...
          "How can I find myself
          not knowing who I am?"

While the gifted Guardian affirmed...
          "Listen to your songs and dreams
          and you will foresee your meaning."

The lyrical Listener deemed...
          "How can it be
          that I am?"

And the consummate Master confirmed...
          "Because you are
          all that is."

At last the tested Disciple marveled in his journey...
         "Where do I go
          with this knowledge?"

The Holy Man rekindled...
          "You are already here!"
