A Couplet of Poems circa April 1995

Spiritual

In the distance
where earth meets sky
i see a point.
Forward i travel
Seeking the point but it eludes
Moves forward, ahead.
I must reach it, i want it
i traverse obstacles, over coming,
Not giving up or in.
It beckons and calls
tempting, teasing, rewarding,
but always out of reach.
I trudge on and on
until one day i realize my feet
are on the same spot
where the journey began.
The place where i lifted my eyes
from the grounds
and I
saw the heavens.

Enlightenment
Take all you know
or think you know,
Take all you've seen,
and done and heard
Take all that's been taught
and all that's been learned
And throw it in the trash
where it all belongs.
