A poem I wrote called "TRADITION"


Tradition

<>
He emerges, drenched

In discovery of what lies beneath:

A treasure-chest

Of ritual and belief.

No explanation for what he sees.

Just mysteries that fail to unfold

Something like a film roll

Yet to reveal

Yet to expose.

No age or time can confine

What’s yours, what’s mine.

Hearing the bell

He makes his way up,

Not alone,

But with tradition wrapped around his shoulders.
