Suggestion of treasures (Day 1025)


What love, that stirs you so deeply for this

world, which knows, intimately, each painful 

step of your path (a staircase, spiraling into 

an unseen end) to listen to peace as it bends 

mysteriously out of sight, to explore its secrets

—tranquility is a curiosity you must satisfy


though you fear the journey, hunger for a way, 

and dread your fathomless lake of yearning, 

you wade into the suggestion of treasures ahead, 

the story of a garden, growing secretly behind 

your shadowed walls, and walk down a twisting, 

time-strewn lane toward the unknown source
