The Endless Whirl

The Endless Whirl · Illustration

I have seen you in the infiniteI glimpsed you before eternityall that is still unknownall that remains unfinishedordained too soon

I have walked through a vast sea of peopleI caught the scent of everyday lifesome fallen flowers and flowing watersome snow whirling thick and fastmingled with the infinite

Weariness—sweeps over meLove—fadesThe tide—engulfs me

Either start againor turn away…Since there is still hope,why give up?

Give it your all once moreMeet once more

The traveler's footstepswill trace a path of ever-renewing life

Is there a flower bud opening in your heart?
