Soulset

[William Garza]

Though you may walk in darkness
And your soul set in the time before nite
And fear take your breath before the storm
Hear you...the darkness in the darkness of the imagination is but a figment of the unrest in the soul.

Hear the sound of stillness,the sound of a thousand years...
of a hundred million pilgrim
Taken breath before the step away from familiar hearth,the hearts glow of home
Unto the path..

See Pilgrim...
The Light, of a hundred million stars
Each a testament to a Pelegrino gone before you,
See the light to find your way

If inspiration,takes away respiration and its time for the reparation of the sails of the Soul

Breath you deeply Pilgrim...
Breath you deeply of the air of Freedom..
Before the setting of your Soul decides your fate.
Before time and tide take away..
Before entropy closes the door...
One last time.

Before time bends you
Before the wind breaks you
Before the sap runs dry..and leaves no longer return in spring
Only the leaves, laced and brittle remain from some far off sun.

Find you...
The courage in the time of firsts
to join into the river going west
Find you...
The time to step away from the toil and strife,the mortal coil eternal....and swim with the eternal current
Find you...
At the coming sunset
To step once again..one more time
Into summer
To feel anew,the ripening of leaf
The dance of the wind
Before memory makes Diamonds of Rust.
Before the setting of the soul into the eternal nite.

Add your name Pilgrim,add your light....to the constellation of stars over head and lead the weary home to Santiago.

Take your life and cast it out unto the Road,
Leave the pieces to heavy to carry...on the way
Leave the burdens on your soul on some long downhill stretch,under skys of blue..of a sudden..anew.

Quit the darkness,the residue of fear,of the unseen and unknown
Life happens
Life is
And Life will be

Pilgrim
Choose to fear
Or choose to live
Life happens
The Good
And the bad
Cast yourself into the bright river and come clean...

My prayer for the Pilgrim.

Hi William, it's very nice, Peter.

A beautiful poem William - there's so much in it that touches our pilgrim hearts. Thank you.

so deeply moving and beautiful! I just recited it to my husband under dark carolina skies with a background of crickets and frogs ( and soft David Gray playing in the background). thank you so much for this remembrance and tribute!
