Guru

I saw a Guru on a mountain top
He looked old and calm and wise
But I couldn't get up there with him
Though I swear I tried

But at some point I just stopped climbing
And sat here upon this ledge
Stopped looking up, stopped looking in
And wandered blindly towards the edge

The guru he called down to me
Be careful lest you fall
You may not have made it all the way up here
But its better than not climbing at all

So I took another tiny step
Then another two or three
Rested whenever I felt the call
And surrendered all the fear inside

The guru he called down to me
Be careful lest you fall
You may not have made it all the way up here
But its better than not climbing at all

Before I knew it I was by his side

and I said what I came to ask
He said you found your answers there below
Upon that rocky path
