Quatrain of Pilgrimage - 1070 - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage - a journey undertaken due
to a religious motive

I set out on a journey, so
many years ago, with the wind
of passion behind my
back,

I knew if I traveled far enough,
I would find enchanted felicity
so I could rest and
unpack.

But tedious days cowardly passed
in slow pain, I walked without
ever nearing the end of the
road,

Forced to abandon my eternal
call (I was facing myself after all)
I had only a prayer to
unload.

I died the next day.
