The Path into the Light

The path towards lustrousness is dark,
The path towards progress follows regression,

The path towards triumph is filled with defeat,

The path towards refabrication is filled with disintegration.

An immediate path is unimaginable.

Success requires failure;

Confidence requires apprehension.

The bright sun treads

On the eternal heights
His perpetual path to daylight
He treads is interminable,

His path to brilliance is dark.

But he always seems to give it all his might.

People should push a boulder up a cliff.
People say it’s impossible:
I say it’s not.
People say it’s laborious:
Well, that’s because the path to light is dark.

If your path to light is dark,
Learn from the sparkling, shining sun.
Push the sun-sized boulder up that cliff.
Let nature do her work
On your path into the light.
