As per the ager roving through fields of the heart Distance & Discovery across the lands open apart A peregrine of the soul: strangers, wanderers afar I slip in-between you-guide us lead us lonely star Inside your whole cosmos chamber cathedral um A quiet pulse walks beside you--a constant thrum Something in you does not belong--touches, seeks Leaving returning uncontaining striving for peeks You refuse to stay still inside yourself willow-will, A churning-ever moving-playing us a reel-to reel, Beyond a pond of meaning in a deep rain we talk, Wherever the ever takes us back-to-back we chalk Mapped around a soft the morning in you--alight, The sin in obligation pulls the meaning in us tight Stay with me in a wandering deep on an us inside Just a way wind suits you whisper flow in a stride

A Peregrine of the Soul
As per the ager roving through fields of the heart Distance & Discovery across the lands open apart A peregrine of the soul: strangers, wanderers afar I slip in-between you-guide us lead us lonely star Inside your whole cosmos chamber cathedral um A quiet pulse walks beside you--a constant thrum Something in you does not belong--touches, seeks Leaving returning uncontaining striving for peeks You refuse to stay still inside yourself willow-will, A churning-ever moving-playing us a reel-to reel, Beyond a pond of meaning in a deep rain we talk, Wherever the ever takes us back-to-back we chalk Mapped around a soft the morning in you--alight, The sin in obligation pulls the meaning in us tight Stay with me in a wandering deep on an us inside Just a way wind suits you whisper flow in a stride
Isn't there a peregrine longing in the deep of us even when our roots are anchored full & strong, that pulls us with a desire to move and move along the twisting of a path whether it is worn or never trodden, hidden or in-between, with all the people in the places, a purple beauty unseen.
