The Pilgrim



I walk the earth with gentle tread
my feet explore my dreaming
on paths of animals they roam
forever seeking a way home
to myriads of stars ascending
down to the deep of sea go wending
forever knowing, somewhere going
flowers from my full heart sowing
with meadowsweet and children growing
all seeing, joy and sorrow blending
seeking a start that's never ending.


All my photos may be enlarged.

    Beautiful photos and lovely poem Arija. I love coming here and reading them and looking at these gorgeous images. The one of the sky and the line of trees is amazing, and the forest waterfall enchanting.
