To a Pilgrim

Keith Jarrett
Nov 4 · 1 min read

One must be abounding

In circling spheres of Hope

Pursuing then and finding

Much we trusted is just smoke

The lesson for the journeyman

Is mortal things must die

What’s left clasped by open hand

Is purer, sacred Life

Shared, yet special — all to you

Is every twist and turn

My friend and pilgrim — you must choose

To love, and live, and learn
