The Nowhere Path

I am a traveller on the nowhere path

there are no signs of the beginning

nor directions for moving forward

towards the destination

if there is one

I have seen countless travelers

worn out by ecstasy and emptiness

rushing towards mirages

in which to drown

thorns prick me

as I try to pluck some joy

in and out of the journey

both illumination and darkness

have traversed the path with me

and taken turns to confound me

they have not kept me company for long

on the nowhere path
