All transfixed, looked upon this intrepid pilgrim
A journey embarked on not by choice or whim
On paths taken, determined to prove one's purpose
With resolution, will one so welcomed remain focused?
A lifetime wrapped in arms of challenges, yet unflinching
So much shown, for each step known, just truly demanding
If only one embraced in the arms of days and nights
With reverence not settle or succumb to shades of lights
One yields to every drop of rain, all of nature's showroom
Even resist gladly to all that graciously bid them doom
As the frailty of one's frame bends towards time even yielding
A mind looks on and is inspired to find true meaning behind living
May one allow themself the freedom to search out
Even be willing enough to live by what they are floundering about
Along the way to finally say, efforts at knowing will never end
The One with no beginning or ending ever a dearest friend
Once allowed to drink from this ever-flowing fountain
One will never thirst again, as it satiates again and again
As the hart pants to be worthy of such an honor, all of one color
A red river flows in a sister, brother, even a neighbor

A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
