Like pilgrims on a pilgrimage they followed.

Like pilgrims on a pilgrimage they followed.

Today he walked from room to room

For a change of solitude

Thus concentrating the mind

The last light of the setting sun

Bowing to the moon of night

Being now at peace with his thoughts

This was his time of contemplating

Meditating on what he might write

Relax, relax, relax,

Pen, his friend, always at hand

It was as if it knew what was planned

That in time something would be written

In sporadic rhyme

Between daylight and dark

There will be a spark

Words will carry him away

Anxious to be released from that head of silvery grey.

Coldly, calmly and with intent

These words the poet fashions

Will dissolve the grey mist

For the troubles of life are many

Always in the sowing, ends with reaping

Today he walked from room to room

For a change of solitude.
