A Traveler’s Journey (A Visit to the Quarai Mission Ruins)
I am a traveler
In a place beyond time
I speak the language of stone
And adobe,
Listen to the echoes of history
In roofless, melted walls
This is my journey
I am a traveler,
An earthbound melting misfit
Whispering in the language
Of leaves and lizards,
Of rustling cottonwood leaves,
Taking pictures with my mind
This
Is my journey
I am a traveler
Just passing through
On my way to somewhere,
Always on my way – on my way to
Else-where, to else-when, to else-wise
Even so, I tarry here
This is
My journey
I am a traveler,
A stranger from
Time beyond
To long ago
In this ghost-filled home
Of peace and contravening conflict
This is my
Journey
I am a traveler
Who sits cross-legged on the earth,
Alone with the ancients
Alone amongst shadows and sunshine,
Silence and grace
My heart and soul cry out in echo
This is my journey
In a place beyond time
I speak the language of stone
And adobe,
Listen to the echoes of history
In roofless, melted walls
This is my journey
I am a traveler,
An earthbound melting misfit
Whispering in the language
Of leaves and lizards,
Of rustling cottonwood leaves,
Taking pictures with my mind
This
Is my journey
I am a traveler
Just passing through
On my way to somewhere,
Always on my way – on my way to
Else-where, to else-when, to else-wise
Even so, I tarry here
This is
My journey
I am a traveler,
A stranger from
Time beyond
To long ago
In this ghost-filled home
Of peace and contravening conflict
This is my
Journey
I am a traveler
Who sits cross-legged on the earth,
Alone with the ancients
Alone amongst shadows and sunshine,
Silence and grace
My heart and soul cry out in echo
This is my journey
