The Blessing

Traveler
yonder go in solitude
unto the unknown waters
of the deepest longing of your soul.
Direct thy vessel on this sojourn
fearing not the tempest wind
nor bleak shrouds of darkness.
Allow the mystery of spirit,
of existence and divine,
to guide thy sacred course
in tranquility and trust.
You, forevermore,
shall rest
unencumbered.
