On the Way

To know me and be free-
The quest for all eternity.
The question came
And answers went
Into that air from this head.
It might take long,
Or it might not-
It's just a puzzle
To solve at night.

To know this, be free from that
Which seems to bind, 
Which won't give up.
Which wants to stand,
Which wants to crowd.
Deep down it knows
It has no clout.

To know me and to be free
This life keeps pushing,
This much's been seen.
The earth within-
It sings and moans.
The time has come
To know its currents.
