THE PILGRIM’S LITANY
winter is coming, winter will pass, but among all our stories of dread and tales of passing time and lore, there’s also the lonely pilgrim. he is allowed to fear, he may even coward and worry, but a pilgrim may never ever stop from treading his everlasting road. he always has to go on. he is the grinder, the slogger, travailer, and here’s his litany.
THE PILGRIM’S LITANY
i am the grey martyr, the walker
i am the leader as i am my follower
i let the road take me
and my feet rise
like a wondering wanderer
of the buried bellow
and black yonders above
between which i walk
the fallen shall arise
and every other stride
shall bring forth a breath
to bear my witness alas
as all becomes still
the wind will be my pride
slave to the path,
the snow will be my rest
as land is my host
keeper of my steps
moon will find the light
that the sun had never lost
my path is my mistress
i walk as we dance
aubade for the lost
for i am ever at rest
i shall face my road
i will pass my path
as it walkes over me
i will become it’s wrath
i am the grey martyr, bringer of rain
i let the road take me
and my feet rise
my time has not yet come
my time has not yet passed

Ioana says: Very nice shortfilm and poem. My opinion is that the shortfilm would be nicer if it had subtitles for the poem, and not the voice reading the poem. Just music in the background.
