Amy Martin


The way you can go
isn't the real way.
The name you can say
isn't the real name.

Heaven and earth 
begin in the unnamed:
name's the mother 
of the ten thousand things.

So the unwanting soul
see what's hidden,
and the ever-wanting soul
sees only what it wants.

Two things, one origin, 
but different in name,
whose identity is mystery.
Mystery of all mysteries!
The door to the hidden.
