There And Back

If you take the road to nowhere

you must go back the way you came,

no sidetracks there or byways –

all distant prospects appear the same……

no landmarks or topography,

no flora but willow and sedge,

nothing to follow but the onward path

stretching away from the naked eye,

no sound but the wind through the reeds

                                                      in the marsh,

no other destination but the sky.
