Seeing the Way or See You Later

this is why it is good to return

birds chirping on the trees I planted
ground ivy, so good for tea, on the grass
blue sky shimmering through birches
to see old friends, still living the life
of monks & nuns
                     the clumsy, stubborn
                     claustrophobic, lonely
                     joyful, boring
                     paradoxical, Absurd
                     path to freedom
the wild geese somewhere, yabbering away
calling to Beyond

which is why it is good to move on
