'Cracks'

by David Tensen


it's the cracks 

on the road to wholeness

you have to watch for


the novice avoids them,

scuttling with speed 

across the bitumen


hoping to reach

a promised land 

without tripping


but the wise slow down

knowing the road

has no end


the wise have learnt

the cracks are 

the way forward


going down 

into the narrows

where seeds fall
