Journey

I pilgrimage alone, 
Yet many hearts walk within my temple grounds.
Loneliness rains upon the byroad of my journey,
Although numerous of prayers reign on me.
Island I am, 
Notwithstanding  country I dwell with my loved ones.
Solitude travels with me to calm the depths of my soul,
However few give my vessel a push into opened sea of embracing poetry.
Nation I am one with all the saints long ago,
Solely the Author of Life sails ocean of thoughts with me.
Many flock around me in love,
Nevertheless unknowing my destiny footsteps.
Outer courts they are dwelling within,
Nonetheless ball point & scroll sojourn with I in the castle of stone writings.
In the still waters I see reflection of the real man,
Yet friends & family see ripple images of me.
I stand alone, 
Just the same I am not-
