Welcome To My Living World!
Oh Pilgrim
By Brian Rohr
Oh Pilgrim,
What you are searching for
Is already inside you
But you have to go around and around
To some corner of the world
To scale the Redwoods or Mt. Everest’s face
Or find your name on the cover of a book
Or wrapped in some perfect lover’s arms
Oh Pilgrim,
Find fame where you are.
Better yet, forget about fame,
For no one really ever knows you anyway
Rather,
Go on a journey, a spiritual quest
Don a robe, a headscarf and a staff
Walk 500 miles in the desert or the fields
Get to know yourself
Tonight you might be wrapped in your own arms
And sleep better than you had in 25 years.

Longing - A Poem for Demeter
This is a poem that I wrote in a few minutes while running late to meet a friend. I saw a poetry contest that wanted a poem about Demeter... Not knowing who she specifically was, I looked up her story and wrote this poem as a response to learning about her being the goddess of harvest and nature, and in her grief over losing Persephone, she became so depressed that all of life came to a stand-still.… Continue
