I was a pilgrim of a distant dream

that could never be reached;

casting my shadow in front

I left the sunrise behind,

and went on to make the road

that aimlessly led beyond

the horizons I was taught.

I never learned to follow

and they said I’d get lost,

dictated distance and goal

ignoring that my guiding post

was the purpose of my soul.

 

A square foot I was given

and a square foot is all I needed

to project my inner self

upon the canvas of this earth;

with every step and in every act

I radiated my love

to heal the small piece of land

my two feet occupied.

Natural seeds of paradise

with every footmark multiplied,

because everything around me

is the consequence of who I am,

where they put a lion I placed a lamb;

where fear raised crosses I saw a man.

 

Despite distance, land or shore

this world is the mirror of my soul,

that is why to regret any step

is to miss the point,

following the sun no flower can disappoint.

I chose the virtue and dignity of a path

where I am you, you’re him and he’s us,

a trail of freedom that bounds no one,

expects no one to follow but all to lead

projecting their inner happiness and peace.

 

I no longer am a pilgrim of a distant dream,

my life is now a sign-less road,

ignoring where I am going

everywhere I am, I make my home.

While this plane is a globe

I am always returning regardless where I go,

everywhere I am I’ve been before,

because I am in all things and everything is in me;

that is how I learned that the dream I set out to reach,

everywhere I went I brought it within me.
