“I Am the Way”

         Thou art the Way.
Hadst Thou been nothing but the goal,
        I cannot say
If Thou hadst ever met my soul.

        I cannot see—
I, child of process—if there lies
        An end for me,
Full of repose, full of replies.

        I'll not reproach
The road that winds, my feet that err,
        Access, Approach
Art Thou, Time, Way, and Wayfarer.
