The Travellers Promise

The Travellers Promise

I will wander from the path
enter the wild wood
deliberate in that great unknown
Not ever look back
draw my fingers over kind bark
inhale a thousand things
and thread there lightly 
in silent respect 
Listening carefully 
to the breath, the song of the wind
I will fear no shadows 
or long forgotten histories
nor change my way 
nor alter course 
nor regret
