to that tender
tent of shelter
to read,
by the golden glow
of the authentic
core of the soul,
the tattered
pages of my life
that each day
I was somehow
a different person
than the day before--
more patient,
loving, and wise,
with the strength to
cradle and console
the wounded
child within
have sailed without me
still I walk this Earth
with a wish to feel
the eternal thrill
of a pilgrim’s nirvana
born of whimsically
sacred places
and foreign faces,
of this wondrous Universe
each day dance
across our consciousness
unfolding however
the hell they please.
