Analogy

a very simple and old poem of mine

I have learned the roads

turning my eyes towards light.

 

I have learned the light

getting closer to the sky.

 

I have learned the sky

coming back to man.

 

I have learned man

asking about myself.

 

And all these until I returned

to the point from where I left.

 

Only then I breathed at ease

trying to understand what I had learned.
