To conquer the world we mustn’t submit to staking its highest peak.
Claiming the spot from where you must fall
Leaves echoes of words no one hears you speak.
To conquer the world and its shallow depths
Is to surpass its limits.
To need not always to unveil
But rather sense the gimmicks.
To learn when we need to gather
Or when we need to grow,
Not follow but be guided by instinctive ebb and flow.

Then the climbing is the conquering,
The method is path,
No hope to unravel a grand design,
But embrace not needing a map.
