SEEKING THE MASTER

 

Seek not in complicated line or song
That which eludes the longing eye
Watching intricate dances bright with grace
On earthly stage roofed by sky

A solitary journey, long and hard
Longer still awaits the path to god
Endless steps to take on sand
Sinking feet that fall and stand

Ask the mountains and the seas
Listening intently every spoken sound
Directions left in seeds of life
Hearing scriptures in nature found

Silent wanderer, who would understand?
The lonely passage from source to man
Halts and starts long and short
Forward backward never stop

Yet, the rustling of morning wind
When tired eyes look through misty mind
Sleepless in their quest of high
The other half of a soul to find
