TRAIL
Sister Dharma blessed
On paths that ever wind
Not every hill is Everest
A scene from Durga’s shrine.
Not every climb's a quest,
Nor valley, Shangri-La ,
Nor Nagarkot, a rest,
Nor Orion, a shooter's star.
Not every guide knows the way
Not every grin's a smile.
And not all pray for prey
Or find this trail, a trial.

Not every guide knows the way
Not every grin's a smile.
And not all pray for prey
Or find this trail, a trial.

Hey Vee - thanks for your careful read - the last two lines are perhaps the last two steps

a brief rest at your poem for further enlightenment, then back to the winding trail...

LOL! :) I get the feeling that JohnF reads ALL poems on DUP, so like a long journey, and then stops a meditative rest at your poem. :)

The trail is the whole... It's easy to forget that, when some elusive destination distracts us. Thanks for the reminder... in poem form!

What we have here is [3] tight, potent little pills crafted to elicit thought.
The last two lines is when it hits you that there's much more depth to the chanting rhythm, immediately enticing multiple reads.
Thanks for the stimulating read, whale.

Thanks for this read AC - often we do not know the true purpose of the journey until it ends
