“Fanions”

 

“Fanions”

11/27/12

 

Entering into the darkest forest

brambles and undergrowth thick

tall pines and massive oak trees

leaving fanions to mark a path;

 

Having considered getting lost

unwilling my way not to know

this inner world of predators

giving chills through my being;

 

Deeper and deeper to go within

yet knowing my way is marked

unknowing the little squirrels

hiding and burying my fanions;

 

Not unlike returning to my home

a path uneasily found unmarked

traversing mortal life to return

returning to one who did Atone!
