The Pilgrim

A true pilgrim’s feet

Will not accept defeat

Walking far and wide

Looking to destroy pride

Indistinguishable from the rest

Except for the silent quest

Pilgrims who don’t make it known

Find truth that has flown

Neither accepting nor denying

The pilgrim who continues untying

Coiled thoughts, of little worth

Finds truth on this very earth

Leaving both hands uncrossed

Reaching out to those who are lost

A true pilgrim sacrifices the journey

To help those mired in misery
