All I ever wanted
Out of life
Was to carve out
Some small domain
In this wild expanse
I could identify
As me
Out of life
Was to carve out
Some small domain
In this wild expanse
I could identify
As me
Until
I discovered non-being
And realized
Being
Was not
All it was cracked up
To be
Confused
I straddle both
Caught in desires
I am learning to perceive
While learning to give myself
The same compassion
I extend to others
Walking
A path
Leading to a place
I only dimly comprehend
Knowing the path becomes clearer
The less I try to comprehend it
