(Poem 228 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

“Although you may fancy that you own a part of this earth, in fact you only walk it.” – Merlin, The Way of the Wizard    

We seem to move
indiscriminately
on the road of time
because we cannot
see the patterns of
spirit in the dust,
or the restlessness
of the wind as it
scatters our ashes
to build new homes,
and we are afraid
of the secret places
of the soul that hide
around the next bend.
