Did You leave it behind

[William Garza]

In the long hours alone, with only the sound of your breath, mingling with the voice of the wind over the waving grass< intertwined with the susurration of a millions pilgrims over the ages?

did you leave the world to bend itself into impossible contortion and compromise, on some unforgiving cobblestone path, laid before the founding of nations...

did the toil and mark of worry upon weary brow... turn smooth with time and space and purpose of pace?

empty of soul and devoid of toil, did you find hearts ease on some forgotten glenn, did you find the truth of the matters, which matter not there, on some sunbaked soil, in a far off world, away from vexatious and cloying, clinging miasmic darkness of spirit?

did the lullaby of the gentle passing clouds over yonder field, give you pause, to reflect, and find reflection?

did you hear the gentle song e're elysian fields awoke..just for you some soul quieted morn?

did the sun and moon in balance over you in sapphire skies wake the wonder, the little voice of youth...

did you leave all the world behind and find,
some deep and abiding resonance inside, In the Key of Joy?

i hope you did..and did not
