Walk Me Home

We’re all just walking each other home. - Ram Dass

Life is taking the scenic route home
Encountering fellow pilgrims on  
Similar journeys walking each other home

Some of our companions will only join us
For short periods of great magnitude
Leaving profound scars on our souls

Others will assist us with their lights
When we lose our footing and stumble
Through a maze of unimaginable obstacles 

There will be times of solitude 
When the road takes us through
The raging fires in the pits of hell

Moments of wonder and awe
When we are left breathless
By the magnificence and splendor

Of this magical creation we call Earth
A gift from the gods to explore
And experience in all its glory

We are walking each other home 
May we be compassionate and kind
When we encounter fellow pilgrims
