Close the Book: haiku

I follow no book;
I recognize no guru.
Truth is not written.

Some may point the way;
others show by example.
There is no method.

There is right and wrong;
either can build or destroy.
Both sides are losers.

You know what is true:
the path is not so easy.
It is not a path.

Words may nourish me,
but they are not food.
No one eats hot air.

I do not follow,
nor do I want to lead you.
Our paths simply cross.

Wake up from sleeping;
I am right here beside you.
Let’s see what’s out there.
