A truth long sought

"Ah, fellow traveller ,o'mine

Thou journey was fine

 I do hope?

But thy bearing does say otherwise.

Tell me o noble one, what bothers thine

oppressed mind."

"It is the truth that I seek, 

O fellow traveller, o'mine

What lies beyond the doors of death?

What awaits me there ,once I 

Part those dreaded doors.

'Seek and ye shall find' ,

It is often said,

For I have long sought ,

yet naught found."

"  The truth is , o'

Fellow traveller o'mine,

What lies past those doors I know not

But the truth, I know will matter not

Once i part those dreaded doors.

For ti's the beginning of the end , and 

The dawn of a new beginning."

This poem is an masterpiece, for it is a epic combination of using old English and giving the reader something important to think about. We humans have lived our life without never seeking what's behind the door. Some are afraid and some do not want to seek it but I want to know what is behind that door. What kind of revelation will it bring and is it really worth it. I would love to see more of your poems with old English, for it creates an epic fantasy feeling when being read. I really enjoyed this poem, for I could feel the emotions and thoughts of the writer beneath each words.

Good job :D

This is magnificent! An excellent poem done in an old style and captures the essence of new beginnings but still leaves so much room for someone to apply deeper meaning as well. It's almost like Robert Frost was writing this. Very well done.

Thank you Jesse. Means a lot. : )

Hmmm...Very, very deep... Well, one thing is for sure...You got me thinking
..
About what?
About the point of life, and what happens, when it's all over, and what will reward us accordingly to what we did with our life. If there is anything out there... At all.

After a long time I came across the use of Old-English in a subtle and appropriate way, but i guess u did misplace a few apostrophes, nonetheless superb thought and the message u tried to portray is bang on. Thanks for sharing :)

A very nice use of words.
" The truth is , o'
Fellow traveller o'mine,
What lies past those doors I know not
But the truth, I know will matter not
Once i part those dreaded doors.
For ti's the beginning of the end , and
The dawn of a new beginning."
The above lines. Can stand alone. A amazing poem.

Needs some general revision, as there are misplaced commas and apostrophes, but otherwise I think it's a beautifully quaint little piece.

Beautiful and thought provoking.
Life and death have always been a matter to ponder for us.
The lack of surety and unpredictability has always been enigmatic.
Interestingly penned!
Liked it very much.
