One

One sat atop a mountain.
One climbed up the mountain.
One asked,
"What do you seek?"
One replied,
"To know what I seek."
One asked,
"Why are you here?"
One replied,
"To know why I’m here."
One asked,
"What do you feel?"
One replied,
"How do I feel?"
"You don’t know?"
"How to feel."
"Let yourself feel."
"How?"
"To feel you must be free."
"To free, I must feel."
"Do you seek to feel?"
"Must I feel, to know?"
"Have you no answers?"
"Have you no questions?"
"Life is a question."
"Is death the only answer?"
"Life is the answer."
"How?"
"I have no more."
"I climbed this mountain."
"This is a molehill."
"The effort?"
"Is within you."
