The Layers

I have walked through many lives,

though some principle of being
9 X# a! N% c  K" o! _abides, from which I struggle

When I look behind,
! h: o1 J0 z& A, Y: J# ~as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength
to proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling

from the abandoned camp-sites,
" ~# _; C2 s$ T# d, X( y' \7 Rover which scavenger angels
wheel on heavy wings.
Oh, I have made myself a tribe
out of my true affections,
and my tribe is scattered!
0 ^# @3 O& t9 ^8 J9 G( \How shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?
In a rising wind
the manic dust of my friends,
those who fell along the way,
bitterly stings my face.

exulting somewhat,
8 v( X6 K1 \  ?; G9 @/ t) Z3 v" u& Qwith my will intact to go
' m! L; x" R, x. Bwhereever I need to go,
and every stone on the road
precious to me.
In my darkest night,
