Ikkaba VII “Step Poem”

O Wanderer, ware your way,
Step into the fire
Up into Air
Down to Earth
Over, under, around and through
Stairs and stones and stars
Time alone
O wanderer
Now and near
Are dust, dew, damp beneath
Feet that have known fire
Far is found
After one and another
And another and another
No end
O wanderer
No stopping now
Only going
On
