The Path of Wonder

 

i walk along the lonely path
with tenderfoot
carrying the seed of destiny,
the secret intelligence of the heart

then, we meet
in absolute silence, you and i
seizing the moment
finding real inspiration
as the journey continues across
the fecund landscape unknown

you open the path of reason
weaving the light
into the fabric of my being

your essence shines
through my soul
like the moons of Saturn in exotic places of the heart
like grains of sweetness
sprinkled with metaphors

your smiling eyes speak
of love on the road to utopia
of heavenly bliss
in winter’s noon

you spread your wings
like an angel of the light
like this fragile soul in her element
ringing in the night of nights
sharing the fruity aroma of delight
on the mound of Venus

behold the Word
the divine pollen of survival…
taming the flood of challenge;
clearing the wandering clouds of dust
in the migrant imagination
