Blurbs

About me:

Of virtues, all with whom I travel
Their whispered portents fill the ear
To keep the road for walking narrow,
Yet patience says should rest we here.

So long unto this land we’ve wandered
Through wastes that took much stronger fore,
While porters of the heart’s desire
Held shut and sealed the iron door.

Again, the patient merit rouses
And warns that though we keep to foot
This path outstretched beyond the curve
Returns, so here should stay we put.

And now the chorus grows much louder
These virtues, bearers each of bale,
But patience calls them all to silence:
Rest here we will and thus prevail.

Astern we watch the Shadow’s valley
Beneath a crimson fettered moon
And you, the staff of shepherds weary
Have, in my clutches, seized the boon.

So heavy rune of patience sunder
Those fixed to fight, yet heed the call.
For though her eyes she often closes
--- She sleeps the least of all.

Who I'd like to meet:

Think you fondly of a love whose sun has set upon the brow?
  Dreams the scorned cannot speak of are best kept silent now.
Found you greater joy to tread alone the path that once we shared?
  There are some answers that, if said, will sack the unprepared.
Think you author of a tale not told a thousand times before?
  In harbors, down we set the sail and guide her course by oar.
But winter springs upon us fast to strike with guile the lone quarry!
  By summer's end I'll look not back and henceforth be set free.

---Chris Engen .. June 2008
