The Traveller
-
NB: thinking out loud 🙂
The traveller
Across mountains, oceans and fields…
Through forests, caves and tunnels
She had ventured so very far
Deep into the unknown…
What she was questing for, she didn’t know
But she had hope and faith…
That she would know it when she saw it…
That there was a reason for her adventure.But as she travelled, things slowly changed
As she explored the world, her mind expanded
She found herself wondering,
Questioning, pondering…
About life and the world…
Understanding individuality.And after sometime,
As she staggered about
She came to realize something,
something so important…
That people are always searching
Despite what makes them unique,
They all had this in common…
They were all questers and seekersSome searched for love
Others for treasure
And a few like her…
For something unknown.She muddled this over,
This realization…
She drew in a breath,
Dwelling quite deeply…
And at last after years
Of wandering so far…
Thinking so hard, walking so long.She said to herself…
And rather calmly…“What I was searching for all this time…
Was right inside of me,
That people are people,
Different in so many ways…Yet there are little things that hold us
Glue us all together,
That make all of the differences
So minor in comparison.”And then at last…
After so many steps taken…
She headed towards home,
It was to be a long journey.
But she knew by now, knew it so well…
That everyone has a journey
That’s what it means to be human.

mmm yes I think you are right Matty….. people are often searching for something they “think” they haven’t got. Not many of us wake up to the fact that we have everything we need right in front of us and don’t need to be forever searching.
A thought evoking poem Matty……. I like it 🙂
That is a lovely poem Matty:)
