All who wander are not Lost...

"poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion: it is not the experience of personality, but an escape from personality. But of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these things".
T.S Eliot

Lost

this way
and that way
since before Dawn
the fisherman has been drifting
on the wide lake.

i come to the shore
to empty my mind
of myself
open my "other ear"
to the sound of water
lapping the shore and kissing my bare feet.

the search for simplicity...
always nearer than we desire!

now the burning mid day sun
beats through a hazy mist
density sets in.

i step knee deep in the water.


Rumi... that crazy lover speaks:
"Be melting snow
Wash yourself of yourself.
