That invisible stuff


What is the stuff...

                                   That gets him up every morning

That inspires artists

That moves athletes

That musicians play

The "Will to Power"

Drive.

Ambition.

Achievement.

That Invisible Stuff...

                                                              Takes us to the edge of reality...

Beyond criticism

Beyond pain

Beyond thought

Beyond concepts

As he climbs further and further up

He gets a better view

Of cardboard theories

and cynicism

Closer to the place

Where everything is nothing

And as he looks down

He smiles to himself

And realizes

                                                                                         He was always there
