And sojourners
On this planet....

November 1st,
and there’s candy canes
in the grocery store
already.

I guess Pilgrims
don’t sell enough sugar....

summer roses, chatter worthy
Pilgrims under sun

This lavish table
is ready for a big feast;
I'm not dressed in black,
Pilgrims expressed their true faith:
I didn't travel far and long!...

The Pilgrims were woefully thinner
But learned what to eat from a sinner
In thanks for their living
They held a Thanksgiving
And ate Wampanoag for dinner...

Christians
   are one as Christ's,
nursing the souls we find,
the blind, the lame, the weak, the poor
never keeping score; we adore
         Noble  Pilgrims

There once was a gobbler named Tom,
Who thought himself quite the fowl homme,
Though hens thought him a cad,
Pilgrims thought he was rad,
Especially stuffed, roasted and basted...nom, Nom NOM!!...

a day of celebration 
gathered together

Exoplanets are planets beyond our solar system
Whoa, my mind is blown, I'm still a flat-earth victim 
Earth is flat as we allege
Watch you don't fall off the edge
It's so bloody obvious, what's the matter with you pilgrims...

Cliff edge narrows, steps in place
 danger looming strong
Height above me terror laced
searching right from wrong
Summit beckons, flag to place
and leave my name among
Flocks of pilgrims reaching grace
—to finally belong

God created distance,
so the wounded could go home

The searchers and the dreamers,
the ones born bound to roam

He then laid down the open plain,
below a towering sky

And set his voice into the wind
—for pilgrims such as I

(Villanova University: March, 2020)...

What are we, my friends,

But

Pilgrims to this ephemeral world of

Fleeting dreams

Where

No matter what we:

Think

Do, or

Say,

Pilgrims to the end of our sojourn

We, certainly, shall stay!

sari of morn floats

draping temples with orchids,

as Angkor Wat blows its mist

to flame coned incense;

and in the still of homage

pilgrims wander with their gods.

It never falls never drys,greens forever
Whenever it extends,it grows moreover
Our love is like that tree,greens forever
On the deep rooted tree,friends forever
Each bird sings fruitly ,And sends clever
Each leave drops water and rains lever
We runabout  as pilgrims every year...

Soul glistens, in our heart aglow
Tip toe there in silence
Holy Spirit, the cosmic flow
Rekindles innocence 

Love at play now, within
For pilgrims free from sin
Hark heart call; go therein

Pulse quickens
Soul glistens

I often dreamed of the lofty place
Where my wandering soul would rest in grace
Where peace like a long lost friend
Would lie upon my wasted breast
And the   smile of an innocent child 
Carved deep into my wearied face
Thus earth be gone and heavens bliss await
All the pilgrims at the gate...

Borderland of friendly people,
new land vast to cross,
inviting with its beauty -
enticing.

Visited by Pilgrims -
persecuted men
of new religions
in their countries of origin.

They bonded with indigenous people,
who helped them to survive
and to cross frontier 
between two oceans....
