The Journey Out
Notes: This poem is based partially on my experiences, but it's also about the Demolition Boys! It's supposed to be about how they met.
Who but the wolf can taste the wind
In this union of Earth and Sky
Can run on an don for miles
The world elsewhere flying by
But even a wolf can't outrun the truth!
Who but the whale can see what's not there?
What he's missing in his life
Can dive into blue-lit mysteries
Can find out how and why
But even a whale needs to surface sometime!
Who but the snake can hide anywhere?
Invisible in the dust
Strikes back when he is spoken to
Then retreats to his cave in the rock
But even a snake has to come out sometime!
Who but a falcon hcan soar on the breeze?
Serene and content with all that he sees
Secure on his throne
Way up in the air
And all his admirers down below there
But even a falcon gets lonely on the wing!
And so four friends of Earth and Sky
Of Sea and all that's Nurtured Underground
Came out of isolation
And this is what they found;
The others were of a likened mind
A kindred soul in each
And from the others present there
Was one that they could teach
And so the four friends journeyed on
The fire, fog, and snow
Each one more full in heart and mind
Than we could ever know!!
