Just Beyond Yourself

There is a road
always
beckoning.

When you see
the two sides
of it
closing together
at that far horizon
and deep in
the foundations
your own
heart
at exactly
the same
time,

that’s how
you know
it's where
you
have
to go.

That’s how
you know
it’s the road
you
have
to follow.

That’s how
you know
you have
to go.

That’s
how you know.

It’s just beyond
yourself,
it’s
where you
need to be.
