You Are There by Erica Jong

You are there.
You have always been 
there.
Even when you thought 
you were climbing
you had already arrived.
Even when you were
breathing hard,
you were at rest.
Even then it was clear
you were there.

Not in our nature
to know what 
is journey
and what
 arrival.
Even if we knew
we would not admit.
Even if we lived
we would think
we were just
germinating.

To live is to be 
uncertain.
Certainty comes 
at the end.
