Hermit lights the way
By BetaWolfinVA
Standing beside the roadside,
the hermit lights the way
garbed in a cowel,
holding a crooked pole
and lantern
telling you where there is
pain to be avoided
or happiness to be found
look into your self to find
the realm of your dreams
let the lantern shine on them.

I liked the mystical pagan connotations of this, the hermit is an archetype among mysticism, especially in the British Isles if I'm not mistaken. Last stanza is my favorite, but overall great poetry.
