Crossing Paths Coalesce

wandering in wasteland 
of denuded life 
                desolate
sinuous track 
takes me 
to the terrain 
of nowhere
                nebulous
I’m entangled 
in enmeshing web 
       of 
enigmatic conundrum 
shall I escape 
from decay delirium
       or not
I can’t decide 

ingrained imprint 
                indelible 
      of 
wheel of time
                turning
in destiny domain
twisted out
of tormenting tangle 
of tortuous trail 
of passive past 
       steers 
with promise 
of pride 
my fraught mind 
out of maze
shows me 
the pledged pathway
to fervent fountain 
of misty meadow
                protected

I break open 
               there
invisible barrier 
you’ve built 
of seclusion
around your garden
                 secret 
       blooming 
furtive flowers 
                hidden 
from me
       but
I’ll saunter 
                there 
suffused with 
seraphic shine
                sanguine 
of sunburst dawn
       new
I wish 
before I walk 
the last mile 
our paths 
will cross 
                entranced
      coalesce
into oneness
                someday
