Herds Poem by David Harris
Herds
Gatherings assemble within their temples
of what their lives worship.
Whether it is religious
or the good times they wear.
Each wears a different skin
depending on what they believe in.
Some gather in places to wander
and journey through the wastelands
of another’s homeland.
Seeking out new herds to follow,
new gatherings to join
on their eternal quest.

Your use of the word 'herd' is most original and very appropriate too, to describe that instinctive part of the human species that 'gathers in groups'. I guess, herds tend to be led too as do we humans - by the one who is lifted above the rest, like the parson or the emperor or king. But the kernel of this poem is about a spiritual quest, and the language has something of the Biblical about it. Excellent piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
