The Other Poems
Impassioned Pilgrims

Impassioned pilgrims, walking hand in hand
along the Way to Whom their lives are bound,
shall reach a stretch of consecrated ground
which, bordered narrowly with sinking sand,
they know they cannot travel hand in hand.
Yet to this narrow pathway are they bound.

When neither stay to linger in that place,
determined to continue on in grace,
their faithfulness is spoken. Vows are said.
Together, clasped more closely, they are led
along the path which narrows their embrace
until their passions thoroughly are wed.
