PILGRIMAGE

The moon – risen,

Shining so bright,

One lonely star,

In blackest night,

Pilgrim wanders,

No clouds to show,

By guided light,

A path to know,

Uncertain – calm,

Footsteps plod on,

Expanse – no end,

Journey – begun,

Sandy life sea,

Crystal – so vast,

Step – carry forth,

A trek – his last,

Ah, horizon!

The edge – the end,

Life’s goal attained,

Spirit’s begins!
