Here, a hymn to the knock about,
the meander we called life.
Listen to the chorus of wildflowers
as they find their way to light,
the sadness in the thunderstorm,
and wonder in the swallow
that dives and during its hunt,
sings.  

Take the pieces of our escapades,
the jackdaw feathers left
like offering at the foot of ruin,
stones that marked the paths
we walked, take the
crumbs of shortbread on napkins
folded, the tea stain on t-shirt,
take the thistle thorns
in sock and shoe.  

This the vagabonds elegy,
the requiem for what is lost
but will one day return.  We
are the sound of untorn ticket stubs
and train whistles silent, we
are the empty pockets
where full hands once rest,
we are the stillness lamenting
the bustle, the longing lust
for a life of wander.
