see the road  

how it winds

and twists

and turns

rising

then falling

through towering mountain passes

which hide more than they reveal.

here there is no space

no time to pause and ponder

how life reduces to the next corner.

attention narrows

and we feel so alive!

caught up in the myopic thrill of it all

led by the road without a care

to a destination out of sight.  

now see the road

how it inevitably straightens

cleanly dividing in two

the uninterrupted rocky plains

that mirror skies littered with clouds -

the vast expanse

of nothingness

which houses it all.

here time slows down

as the horizon draws a steady gaze

further and further to the path ahead.

a calm clarity is found

and we feel relief having finally arrived

in this timeless space between spaces -

a place where dreams gently grow into the light

from the fertile depths of the soul.
