The Master and the Student

(When the student is ready, the master appears…)

The Master and the Student

She knocked on the door of the Master
He gently took his Student by the hand
Onto the path of realization
Though the Master himself was tested severely
And the Student stumbled often
They held on tight
Through laughter and pain
Persisted in their way
To the ultimate garden
That graces itself
With the sweetest scented flowers
Awaiting their arrival
Their journey together
Master guiding Student
And Student holding Master up
When they eventually learn that
There is no Master and no Student
In the eyes of the Creator
