‘T was only acceptance of sacrificial bleeding,
To come and to die without holding the dagger.
Yet all of the nights spent decadent still,
My heart was felt ill; my mind was felt bitten;
Yet now I know different, now I feel calm.
This beautiful scar that tells me my story,
I live and do cry as only so boring.
But oh dear lord, I understand your wisdom.
Come hither; let me read your scars.  


I am the two-toed wanderer

I've read this several times, each time feeling this to be a very deep and spiritual poem.  I found it very moving.
