On a Pilgrimage
Comes the pilgrimage
unto newfound woods;
my own doing
in a state of awareness--
the rain, a low drizzle
moistening my shirt
penetrating a brave hunt,
the introspection that seeks
answers unmet, undone.
A music from nature
drifts on through my head,
as night sable strips this pride
when weeds and creatures
do not follow my tracks--
still, I wobble on, needing rest ,
my heels trampling roses
near a sanctuary beneath
the wild of night-time, and
as I lay on rough marbles,
a lucid thought arises
inspiring me to gaze beyond
my limited stretch, a deer's catch,
when what I need
is to grasp this anger within.
