The road seen, then not seen, and the way forward always in the end, the way that you came, the way that you followed, that carried you into your future, that brought you to this place the sense of having walked from far inside yourself out into the revelation, to have risked yourself for something that seemed to stand both inside you and far beyond you, that called you back in the end to the only road you could follow so that one day you realized that what you wanted had already happened, and long ago and in the dwelling place in which you had lived in before you began, and that every step along the way, you had carried the heart and the mind and the promise that first set you off and then drew you on and that, you were more marvelous in your simple wish to find a way than the gilded roofs of any destination you could reach as if, all along, you had thought the end point might be a city with golden domes, and cheering crowds, and turning the corner at what you thought was the end of the road, you found just a simple reflection, and a clear revelation beneath the face looking back and beneath it another invitation, all in one glimpse: like a person or place you had sought forever, like a broad field of freedom that beckoned you beyond; like another life, and the road still stretching on.

The Road to El Dorado (Santiago)
The road seen, then not seen,
and the way forward
always in the end, the way that you came, the way
that you followed, that carried you into your future,
that brought you to this place
the sense of having walked
from far inside yourself out into the revelation,
to have risked yourself for something that seemed
to stand both inside you and far beyond you,
that called you back in the end to the only road
you could follow so that one day
you realized that what you wanted had already
happened, and long ago and in the dwelling place
in which you had lived in before you began,
and that every step along the way, you had carried
the heart and the mind and the promise
that first set you off and then drew you on
and that, you were more marvelous in your
simple wish to find a way than the gilded roofs
of any destination you could reach
as if, all along, you had thought the end point
might be a city with golden domes, and cheering
crowds, and turning the corner at what you thought
was the end of the road, you found just a simple
reflection, and a clear revelation beneath the face
looking back and beneath it another invitation,
all in one glimpse: like a person or place
you had sought forever, like a broad field of freedom
that beckoned you beyond; like another life,
and the road still stretching on.
