“I faced in myself a passionate and tenacious longing… forever…To take the trail 
and not look back.. Let the rest of mankind find me if it could.”
                                                                             John Haines
 
 
Purpose is required
long after all reason leaves
and goals have vanished.
No longer are we banished
to the wild sowing of seeds.
 
Time, it’s said cures lack
regardless of our desire.
Each wilderness yields.
Every trail welcomes us back
so we gather in our fields.
