Pilgrimage
by ola hadi/ 10.4.11
if time was an infinite resource
I would spend lifetimes with you
as it is
this precious gift
sets limits
boundaries
that I doubt I’d draw alone
through you
the pilgrimage
begins
I’d hoped we’d share the journey
through life
in union
explore the paths ahead
get lost
and find something greater
than what we are
alone
gazing at you in the dark
I feel assured
that this is a beautiful universe!
in your warm brilliance
it is not so hard
to imagine more
I’ll take this feeling forth
I have to be strong enough
to walk alone
and know
I also
am the source
of the light
and unconditional
love
spend some time
to find peace
and move on
or learn to sit
with what I have yet to learn
though I’ve tried all I can try
it’s that time to say goodbye
