Where lies Salvation?

Where lies Salvation?
Where lies bliss?
Within your beloved’s embrace?
Or at the height of musical strains?
I wish a path were clearly marked
but ‘tis not so and I don’t fret
for the journey is preparatory
thy destination not a surety.

At the ecstatic heights of the Himalayas
surrounded by unfathomable secrets
plunging deep into crevasses,
do we find enlightenment?

Or does one need to look within
and find the path emblazoned
on one’s heart, lit with neon lights
marking the route, all one needs
is to take the first step.
