The Wonderer
Just over the next mountain I journey
past the horizon of my history-
going past that which I have known
where knowledge lies in the next sudden sunrise
to follow the next bright illuminating moment
harnessing an untouched, untrampled day
bringing breathlessness in stirring breezes
of new beginnings blowing across
my epiphany of exploration and discovery
Where my vision of unviolated beauty
pure of scope and content lays in
endless fields of unseen flowers and leaves
aligning their colors and symmetry in perfection
so alive and enfolded in their cradle of evolution
my heart bursts with immeasurable pleasure
Where I listen to the unheard symphonic poem
as the oaks and willows model their lasting fellowship
talking underground in fertile untouched soil
speaking the ancient language of the eternal
reuniting in continual rhythm as they
gather each living thing under this sun
as an intricate pattern of peace
And as the day closes its mystical curtain
I am struck by the introspective wisdom
of deep still nights and the glory of a new moon
as the spackling of shooting stars
ignite my untamed desire to venture on
pointing my way to follow my dreams
by the light of their cryptic compass
in my rite of passage to discover
something greater than myself
