Vagabond on unwritten paths
He saunters heavy leaden.
Facing high blizzards in rags
He might be an errant ghost.
On a journey begun within deep darkness
In search of stars he holds a sacred light
within a chest sized for a grandest myth.
Haggard beneath the weight of a thousand
Dreams broken under the yoke of fears
A step yet ahead he dares not raise a gaze.
Another horizon has come to meet the gait
Of this traveler in search of a common destiny.
Another sun will set this eve against the silhouette
So strange and a heaving breast will sigh once more.
There lies his hope gently awaiting
the soft kiss Upon a virgin brow.
The cask is heavy with the treasures amassed and
will be opened at last at the feet of the muse
Offering of a life’s quest to honor its precious source.
Touching to a shiver
The invisible wand makes a spark in the realm
giving life to a satin inch so long in slumber.
It is a task for the tireless magician
a promise he made on the sacred day
to warm the dying soul.
Sadness is conquered at the gentle approach
of a single intent stated in warm silence.
A granite memory awakens to a new dawn
under the silky cloth of a grand new life
limbs softly bend in a subtle giggle.
He writes another word upon the parchment
for the story to begin again and her sorrow
to melt away in the heat of eternal sunshine.
