Travelers... Across Time

Across time we wander
Pilgrims in search of what
We don't know...
Just...travelers
Upon a long journey
Stopping only...
For nourishment
For reaffirmment
For direction


Along their way...

Down
Winding paths
Sometimes fraught
With thorns of trouble
Briars of deceit
Tumbling through
The dust of discouragement
As a tumbleweed
Tossed to and fro
By winds of doubt
Into valleys
With hidden exits
Where they must
everything set aside
And concentrate upon
...the compass of our soul
Listening to inward echos
To find the mountaintop

And...

Upon the top
Of mountains high
They linger and rest
Soaking up cool breezes
Of faith and hope
Sharing strength
Of proud eagles
Focusing upon
Lofty thoughts
To preserve
And carry
As onward they go
Up and down
Across and beyond
Within and Without
Continuous
Until the day
When the pilgrim

Finds HOME
