i travel not knowing for theodore Roethke

By: Joseph Cosco

i travel not knowing where i must go
i will greet my fate around the next bend
i find my way by learning to go slow

we discover by seeking – isn’t it so
never supposing to face a dead-end
i travel not knowing where i must go

seek the true way and wend with the flow
traveling companion    lover and duende
i find my way by learning to go slow

tokyo   rio   laredo   bergamo
through the gates of hell like dante descend
i travel not knowing where i must go

journey or destination  who’s to know
what bogs us down  what helps us to transcend
i find my way by learning to go slow

seeking cities of gold   finding skidrows
via dolorosa left to ascend
i travel not knowing where i must go
i find my way by learning to go slow
