A Traveller's Tale

A traveller's Tale 

A traveller knows not 

Where is his home. 

A traveller never feels caught

By the times bygone. 

A traveller's world is never permenant

He breathes a different air everyday. 

Travels he under the scorching sun

Travels he by many roaring shores

Travels he across vast desserts 

Travels he amidst millions and more. 

Each day is a new learning, 

Each day is a new beginning. 

Each moment is an adventure, 

Each second is different from the other..! 

But, 

Sometimes he sits on his own,

At the edge of an unmanned cliff

Looking down into the depth of a vast ocean. 

He says to himself " My travels make me new every day, 

I love the variety and difference

Good or bad everything is just a volatile effervescence  

I long for a companion 

Who celebrates my ever changing frantic mood 

Who knows I am a rolling stone that gathers no moss 

And who decides to do the same with me too!" 

I am a traveller and I don't settle, 

I long for a companion who can roll with me till I am dead.

wow, talking about epic...this brings to mind so many things both personal and in literature, it has so much depth and meaning yet reads so well, flows so easy that it is a pure joy to read...I wish I was better at explaining myself so that i could tell you how much I really like and relate to this poem.

Thank you Jason, we're all travelers at heart aren't we??

In our souls I believe yes...must be imprinted in us from the times our ancestors spent wandering and living free..its comforting to know that really we all come from the same place, the same people..instead of seeing differences its nice to see the things we have in common

so true, we are all guided by instincts from time in memorial. Thank you Jason for providing a whole new perspective to this piece:)
