Weary World Wanderers

A beautiful poem written by our dear friend Kirsti and performed at our going away picnic today...

Weary world wanderers
take these eyes
and shackle them to adventure
tackle the earths moonscape
for all of your forevers
surrender
to the sea
and please remember me

When all the sunsets are just too beautiful
when all the mountains are impossibly high
when love is too great a journey to roam
I pray, always, for your safe return
and I pray that your heart will not return home

Mold your headscape on dancers in costumes too bright
and your darkness on fireflies speeding the night
and birds of wild colours aiding you in your flight
so far from here my friends
and look in the eyes of all people, the same
know these eyes will be waiting when you come home again
but drink their forgiveness out the font of the earth
it's a kaleidoscope planet that you both deserve

And hold each others hands
when the road is to steep
when the holes in your knowing
match your sore blistered feet
when the world is not easy
when the twilights are cold
when you feel so much younger
than your ages once hold

Let your hearts be the sunset
and your passion the plane
let the quest and the end point be one and the same
let samba and rhythm wriggle down
to your pinkie toe
be shackled to adventure no matter where you might roam

Till we make our new adventures
when you one day
come home.
