The Wanderer

Lead me along the paths of silence.

Let me hear with my eyes

What my ears cannot see.

Lift me up though the valley's mist.

Fill my senses with what could be...

     Not grounded by feet.

     Not stranded without wings.

     Pull me up to the cloud lines

     To view glorious things.

Guuide me on roads of impulse.

Let me feel with my hands

The texture of scents.

Lead me on to the confluence

Where the moment invents...

     Other worlds

     Other themes

     Other hopes

     Other dreams.

We all feed upon the knowledge

Of what is...

And what seems.
