Pilmigrages to ourselves

Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)

Pilmigrages to ourselves

From earth to leaf to branch
Going in its coming
It forms its curves on edge of time
And ghostly shadows in the air
That shed their lives anew
 
Like leaves in fall
We watch their dance
in the place of our beginnings
through which
The days are woven into
We build the place we dream
Pilmigrages to ourselves
Where water springs come again  
Through the deep crevices of our lives
we might reach towards lifes callings

    This poem beautifully reflects on the journey of self-discovery and growth. The imagery of nature, from earth to leaf to branch, symbolizes the stages of life and transformation. The mention of ghostly shadows shedding their lives anew and the dance of leaves in fall convey a sense of renewal and change. The idea of pilgrimages to ourselves, where water springs come again through the deep crevices of our lives, speaks to the continuous process of introspection and seeking one's true calling in life. The poem eloquently captures the cyclical nature of growth and the quest for self-realization.
