Under The Late October Skies

Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage

I will take you
to the sea and sail
in this little boat of ours—

past the shoreline
and through its deep
turquoise waters.

I will show you the
the beauty of the
moon, the sea's
dancing silver waves;

and learn to love its
depths without
abandoning the coast.

You will lose yourself
in nirvana on this very
surface and then—

i will teach you how
to navigate the
stars.

knowing that even
if you lose me,
you would find your
way back.
