Pillar to Post
From pillar to post, embrace or resist,
Seeking to be sought—what is this?
Contentment or greed, captured by thought.
Eager for silence, mind open to naught.
Lucid or slumber for you to choose
Refined or fouled, soul's whisper or shout.
Remove the veil, the impulse for more.
Desire for less, constant distress.
On the treadmill, we walk; the wheel we endure,
The path is fraught with looking for more.
Nowhere to go… heed the heart, hear the soul.
Bloom or wither—it is said.
What lies ahead? Alive or dead.
