Teacher and Disciple
As he steps forward to show the way
Indeed it’s been a treacherous road
Wrought with the most strongest oppressive force
That which I follow, he keeping them at bay
He is my teacher, I am student, a disciple
One to know the way of the Ancients.
Fear is my constant companion to make me shirk
But my determination to follow my teacher
That is my goal. I follow to learn, to grow.
As I began to fall forward, he stops me,
“Rest for now, bring balance to your soul”
His words a relief to my tired soul and body.
“Breath in and without, find that inner strength, do not despair.”
Understand his words, they bring light and fire
Alight the smoldering flame of my former self
He steps to the side to show me the destination.
Godhead. I can see it, this very place I search for.
“Balance, proceed forth Disciple. You aren’t alone. I will walk beside you, and you with me. The secrets of the world within and without is just within reach. Proceed.”
I walk again with my teacher. That is the path of Teacher and Student.
