"Where We Are Going"––poem by Dorothy
Where We Are Going
"I live my life in widening circles."
Rilke
No one knows where we are going.
Is it into magnificence
or into the darkness of vastness.
Will we follow light
into paradise
and be enfolded
in indescribable love,
strains of ethereal music,
or fall into oblivion,
like the petals of a fallen
flower.
What does it matter.
We came here for our journey.
Now it is over.
Perhaps then we will at last discover
its meaning.
Were we
a pebble, a cloud, or a scent
floating in moonlight?
Dorothy Walters
