Trailbreaking
I will be posting poems to this blog every now and then. Here is one from 6/04.
As you know the paths about your own home
So certain facts are well-trodden
In the castle of your Mind
But life has other requirements - if you wish
You might grow outward like some plant
There are new territories, then, to traverse
Why remain on these often strolled paths?
Physically, even the Town once removed
From yours might contain a treasure
What of unvisited courtyards of the Soul?
Strange, knowing it surveyed from the heights
They may choose instead to pretend its limits
As the fixed and binary walls of necessity
It is necessary to step from the cliff
It is also necessary to know the explosion
And to walk hours through Darkness
To break the wheel-ruts - before they become
Tracks which but faintly represent the concept of Destiny
As you know the paths about your own home
So certain facts are well-trodden
In the castle of your Mind
But life has other requirements - if you wish
You might grow outward like some plant
There are new territories, then, to traverse
Why remain on these often strolled paths?
Physically, even the Town once removed
From yours might contain a treasure
What of unvisited courtyards of the Soul?
Strange, knowing it surveyed from the heights
They may choose instead to pretend its limits
As the fixed and binary walls of necessity
It is necessary to step from the cliff
It is also necessary to know the explosion
And to walk hours through Darkness
To break the wheel-ruts - before they become
Tracks which but faintly represent the concept of Destiny

Jon - thanks for stopping in. :) I am wondering if you are making a general comment about the need for compassion, or about the need for campassion to be a part of the poem itself. I agree with former, and disagree with the latter. See you on the Vineyard!
