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_
