Into the Wilderness

i go
to the far corners
of peace,

where i will see,
again,
the proportion
of soul to self

to realm

to universe.

i will find you
in even the
deepest silences
and the fiercest
struggles,

and i will know you
in every moment
of darkness

and promise of light.

as long as i breathe
i will reach toward you,

and as long as i suffer
you will reach toward me.

the moment of our meeting
is my destination,
your promise:
our shared destiny.

--Mr. Gobley
