THE SEEKER AND THE WANDERER

The Seeker and the Wanderer

Was not your name less of one?

The encounter was one unexpected,

Yet I turned and behold,

There you were,

 A sister of the night and you, of the rest and midday sun.

It was kind, this encounter,

And pleasant;

 The truth of it I will say.

I wasn't whom you thought,

 But of whom I was, I surely quoth.

A wanderer from the beginning,

 So lost, and so cold.

A seeker were you

 Albeit you didn't say,

this I did believe.

 the bliss and the ray.

My soul reached out for the moment

 But you sister’s words were ‘follow’:

My heart was dark,

 For the light of the morrow.

You were indeed a seeker,

 For you moved as an angel;

My steps were really hindered,

 when I skimped across the shadows.

My heart was weak,

My strength was faint,

The tracks of light did surely fade.

I am a seeker 

searching, as you, for the best;

and I hope the Light created directs the wandering Child.
