Thanks! I found it, as it turns out (on my hard drive)

Why I Keep a Diary
While I follow the wind
there is no wind. Because
my wings are silent. I follow
the coast and find these pines
wrapped in their wind, those old believers.
And I know that I am alive
and this is the world’s trail
a day, a day, a day
much on its own track.
Where did the others go?
Pacemaker sun, persuader,
and heart that wants to beat
(and then the soul’s one stride):
my destiny is to find
this coast I follow.
