I seek the path of a man who rests in you Poem by Daniel Faria

I seek the path of a man who rests in you
The way a man strays from his heart to journey onward
The way he leaves everything and adds to his inheritance

I seek to know symbols, the milestones
Of daytime, how to read
Smoke signals and the flight patterns of pigeons - and all
Things that reach us from the distance

I seek to learn how to keep my feet within your
Roads
The way a man removes his shoes when he must cross
Himself like a stream
And I long for your word bursting once more
With stars

So that I can cut them out and place them in the silence
Alive
In my mouth and in my hands
On fire
