Bravely in a land of dust
As pilgrims we make our way
To some far country we believe is good
But the truth is, we are all immigrants
Nomads and priestesses of our faith
Sojourning in foreign countries
In heart-broken cities that endure
An agony to submit
To the volatile finger of God
Or to thrust our lives
In the climate or our Self-Will
Our solid body craving so much
In the muted landscapes of our youth
Bravely in a land of dust
As pilgrims we make our way
In forever-turning seasons
That bend in the breeze with rust
Beneath implied-expectations where
Our worth is judged, every day.
