words can bridge so much

yet can not easily reach 

into the deep dark 

place that we are from

only silence and music 

can delve into the abyss 

and return unscathed

yet try we must 

again again and again

it is the intention itself

that makes

the magical leap 

across the space 

where words must 

fall

and fail

Sabbe sankhara anicca'ti.
yada pannaya passati,

Impermanent are all compounded things.
When one perceives this with insight,

Atha nibbindati dukkhe.
esa maggo visuddhiya.

then one turns away from suffering;
this is the path of purification.

Gautama Buddha
