SO NOWHERE BUT WITHIN
the desperate search
and impassioned need
the unfulfilled quest
and unending road
the framing of years
and sure inner stance
are brought to bear
in actions of our being
no darkness is
no failure does
all is a vector
linking points in a line
all else is illusion
the trappings of myth
the veiling of Maya
that consensus attains
there is motion
there is action
if not completion
or accomplishment
what is static
is not stagnant
but for the context
relativity's game
there without focus
there without point
decouple the self
from the flow of days
remove the soul
from the fall of dreams
release the spirit
from the failure and destruction
these locks and chain
are based in belief
are forged in identity
yet they are empty
as is their pain
and all the stresses
empty and without being
beyond these inner bounds
