Wabi-Sabi Warrior

When will I wander

into my knowing

I am 

worthy

When will I wander

into the safety

of your 

embrace

For I am

a child

of

light

One who wanders

the endless dark

like the stars

planēta

on the path

of

shadow

When will I wander

through 

tearing tangles

bruising brambles

 time's thorn

and at last

see

the scabbed scar

truth

that my beauty

is 

in

my

imperfections

 long

have I 

wandered

 this world

long

have I

circled

the

sun

Forever falling

into

the

gravity

 of knowing

of accepting

of being

who I am

who am I?

 I am

a

wabi-sabi

warrior
