Behind those mountains
\nAmong the woods
\nThere lies a path
\nThe path less trodden<\/p>\n
Many have tried
\nto walk its steps
\nYet eventually
\nIt leads them to another
\ndestination
\n
\nOnly those that feel
\nNo sorrow, No joy
\nNo love, Nor anger
\nIronic that they feel
\nYet nothing<\/p>\n
Once you give up love
\nThere is attachment
\nFurther down that path
\nWhen love is gone
\nAnd attachment shed
\nThere may linger
\nWebs of lust<\/p>\n
And if you manage
\nTo leave them be
\nThere is that fork
\nThe one where each falters
\nOne points to the destination
\nThe other says just journey
\nAnd we all do it for the destination
\nAnd ignore the journey<\/p>\n
It so happened that I
\ngot lost in this same forest
\nAnd came across this same path<\/p>\n
I wondered aint it weird
\nto find a path
\nIn this weird forest
\nAnd curosity drove me forward<\/p>\n
I gave up love
\nAnd then shed attachment too
\nI denied lust to bind me
\nUntil I found that fork<\/p>\n
Here I stopped and
\nThough, if this is the end
\nThen what would I do next
\nAnd so I went down that path
\nAnd my journey still continues<\/p>\n
Each day I learn.<\/p>\n
The lessons this path
\nhas taught me so far
\nabout loving without wanting
\nabout being free while being attached
\nabout being the spider in
\nthe web of lust<\/p>\n
It also tells, each day
\nof the fact that end is
\nas far away as
\nthe universe extends<\/p>\n
On the path there is
\na lot to learn
\nuntil you leave this body
\nAnd the journey still continues
\nThere is no end
\nAs there was no starting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
