Welcome, Pilgrim!Tom Turkey has been defrocked
Cleaned, basted and stuffed
Surrounded by pumpkin pie
Green bean casserole
Tart cranberry sauce
Come, Pilgrim,
Eat!...

Pilgrimcentered within mind caverns
constant lightless deep
echos reverberate
into end times
of all my existence
I live for one moment
where crack of light,
that is that Light,
will illuminate me
to light a trail
that leads me out
to a place where
darkness has gone to sleep
and within...

Wanders the Poetic Pilgrim Soul In Me
In me, dwells therein a pilgrim soul.
Always on the move and on the go.
It growls, with a very strong voice:
“Do not...

My Soulmate Is a Pilgrim, Mercury In RetrogradeMy soulmate is a pilgrim,
He explores the zodiac’s constellations
Not always in our own Milky Way, he treks
His journeys enlighten mankind
Because he aims his bow hunting faith in Sagittarius
And swims with emotional artistry in Pisces
He judges mankind with Libran scales
As he admires beauty while visitingTaurus

Wayward PilgrimThou wayward pilgrim
Oh come rest thy weary soul
Down by the river Jordan
Thou wayward pilgrim
Unburden thine heavy load
Rest by the river of life
Oh wayward pilgrim
lift your dimmed eyes toward home
Oh what happiness awaits!
Oh wayward pilgrim
in yonder distance joy waits
Jerusalem, home sweet home

The Real Pilgrim
Let me tell you a story …
Many pilgrims had passed this way before him
but had rarely stopped before trudging up the muddy path to the top of the hill
and then disappearing out of sight forever.
But he lingered at this shady spot at the bottom...

A PilgrimA Pilgrim
(A song for 'Dia')
I come here at night's edge,
This parlour of hidden shadows
Questing for
Some measure of solace
From the bible black grind
Of mundane despair.
She is wearing white,
Tonight,
My Magdalene
My source of wonderment,
Thunder child
Storm raven
My crucible of momentary Eden
We are all searchers in the end
All weary marchers
Down...

The PilgrimI embark on a journey
Looking for a country
Where there is no bitterness or rancor
Where family live in unity and love
Where households are at peace
Where there is no squabble for material things
Where there are no trust issues
And suspicions
Countries are at war because of greed
And self indulgence
Selflessness...

Dream PilgrimDream Pilgrim
Slipping past the threshold of the daystar in velvet vesper hues
My weary pilgrim heart sheds the restraints
Of pale dawn’s blush and twilight’s silver dawning darkness dyed in ebony
To gather starlit threads of lacy midnight raptures –
Cobwebs of mysterious deep scars...

A regular cool and hip pilgrim --
He saw Plymouth 'Rock'
Said, "Fast forward the clock!" --
Played Jimi Hendrix ~ nearly killed 'em...

Journey of a PilgrimI am but a pilgrim,
an adventure in my mind.
Living now from day to day,
in my journey along the way...
Going all in motion,
a master plan in place.
Much more to discover...
and I shall stake my case.
That I am just a visitor,
the timing is not mine.
A greater clock...

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin
A charlatan to many
A prophet to some.
His hypnotic effect
Incomprehensible
His eyes uncanny
A saint to none.
