Best Pilgrimage Poems

To begin, time and money we give
For our quest, our poetry pilgrimage
Here, our band of bards congregate
Here, we speak the language of language
The secret handshake of simile and sonnet
Here, we meet in metaphor and meter
Here is heard tight rhyme and free verse

Our serendipitous saga, our...

They fought the tide to own some land
A fight I did not understand
They fought the plow, they fought the drought, they fought the debt
But yet, by God, ... they owned the pride

In retrospect, I'm still ashamed
My heart and soul were not engaged
A flippant mood was...

seagulls surf the wind
my escorts home
across the waves

                  streamlined gannets

The Pilgrimage


From young people of every nation
Will gather again to exalt
One faith in God for salvation
Inert spirit to offer salt

Will gather again to exalt
Jubilee of youth in pilgrimage
Inert spirit to offer salt
Of reaching hands, no blockage

Jubilee of youth in pilgrimage
To symbolize the living...

I am content to walk alone,
but to walk in company with others
adds vigor and passion to the journey.

Rumi

Good Taoists,
although I am not sure I actually know any,
refine their inclusively subordinate clauses,
and sentences,
and contracts,
and lives

Define eternally and mutually satisfactory gratitude,
anthrosupremely alone
LeftBrain dominantly apart

We camouflage EarthTribe's cooperative...

The suburban pressure cooker expelled its multiethnic horde north. Laden with implements of leisure, bicycles, kayaks, canoes and camping gear; world weary travelers of urban and suburban bent surged north ever, north. Bucking, they wrenched in unison at road repairs, shunted into single lanes by...

the dark raven 
beckons my soul
amidst quaint cackling of
the jackals mangling hisses 
I witnessed flowers bloom
 
as the giant oaks
began to kneel at my feet
I witnessed his face 
why I heard his voice
the mauve sky rumbled 

the clay ground crumbled 
at this beautiful coming
sweet Jerusalem...

 An unceasing explorer of the woods of birch and maple until this moment,
   I wish to weave my dreams of soothing repose in this moment.

 Every day has painted a tangled image since echoing centuries,
  I wish to compose a disentangled...

This is where I belong
A moment in time
I was once a pilgrim
Searching for a home
Travelling through the roads
Not knowing my way
With time, my heart knew
The direction I was to follow
It has brought me
To an end, to the place
I call my home, my mecca....

Pt I: The Pilgrims
1991

he’d pick ‘his’ path up as it fell
between the dunes toward the wood
and as the trees knew him so well
they’d all bow down right where he stood
and every day with time to pass
he’d walk and find his secret seat
surrounded by the marram...

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...
