Five Paths

The focus always on the eagle’s nest
That lies atop the frost-cracked mountain tree,
The pathways to the peak are thus progressed.

Acquire the things to lead you to your quest.
Plain learning holds that old and rusted key,
The focus always on the eagle’s nest.

Prepare to see your fur-clad mind undressed.
Through nakedness that causes shame to flee,
The pathways to the peak are thus progressed.

Beyond the door, the void is manifest.
Just push it open slightly and you’ll see
The focus, always on the eagle’s nest.

Your mind erupts with notions long suppressed,
Volcano blasts that shudder ‘neath the sea.
The pathways to the peak are thus progressed.

At last, you have become devoutly blessed,
The inner mind allowed to wander free.
The focus always on the eagle’s nest,
The pathways to the peak are thus progressed.
