– Voyageurs –
The distance that time can make
is all that matters,
between here and there,
between then and now,
between places and people.
The roads on which we choose to travel
are equal in their worth
to the final destinations
at which we will arrive.
I have never felt strong enough
to travel those distances alone.
I have never felt safe enough
to make the journey on my own.
But I know how you too understand
the nature of that sacred journey,
and so I let you lead me there,
to the place where I would otherwise
keep vigil only for myself.
