The Quest

Image by Helen Korpak on Flickr


an insatiable urge

this enigmatic quest 

a calling i cannot digest

profound yearning

gnaws at my core

until i can bear no more

yet this voice i hear

speaks softly like a song

whispering where i belong

a journey of sacred voyage

to the hills yonder and far beyond

i see no drifter nor vagabond

    Many resist the call at first although they hear the call because, as you show in this poem, the path ahead has not been traveled before.

    Susan, some even refuse to believe what they hear. Taking the path less traveled is taking a big chance. One just have to have faith.

    Mary, I guess a calling like that will not stop until it is heeded. :)

    Great expression of powerful yearning! Sometimes the only thing we can do is be true to who we are and give in.

    Rallentanda, it’s more of call of the unknown. To heed or not to heed, that is the dilemma. Thanks for dropping by.
