The Sun's Highway

Are our hearts beating,

Mantras our lips repeating?

Silence is the friend of the soul beset.

Tell us who we are or we'll fast forget.


Is this trail lonely?

Still, we know it's the only.

Knights will ride their steeds under gloomy skies,

All of which reflect in the pilgrim's eyes.


Mist-hung hills untold

Circle this barren threshold

And a city glints on a far-flung height

Where it's dawn even in the dead of night.


Do we know our measure,

Search as for buried treasure

For each other's best as we tread the day,

Crossing golden lanes to the sun's highway?
