Am I on the Right Path?




Am I On The Right Path?

White pines twist east
Is this the right road?
Light breaks through ancient
Cathedral glass
The grass on the roadside glows
The soft gold of oak in
old libraries.

Pieces of dreams bend
Around my head—
Could this be the place?

My shoes slide on
The hollowed steps in
Medieval towns—
My fingers touch the soft edges
Of well loved books.

Logs honeycombed with age
Crumble like old silk.

So now I have come the edge of the sea
Where shells and small stones roll
Tumble in breakers
Tumble in salty foam
So where to now?
