a Traveler
~Traveler~
a lock of hair, a gift,
Kept in a sacred box
Counted among a treasured lot
magic is contained
Perhaps one day he will seek
The journey begins, with lock in hand
starts with a determined step
Yet he is lost, the stone is cast,
forward tumbling in the mysterious cosmos
Despite a revelation of the rook.
Yet, he did not listen,
Raven said, “Drowning in a living sea, be simple,
you were not given wings.”
Despite the warning, close the mind
Why, burden a weary traveler
Who does not want to believe?
With a dream, a thought, a hope
a journey of a thousand lies begin.
Bitten by a sliver tongue viper
Compassion is the poison
Plays his deceit with a smile
Delights in your pain
While being a slave to his own secret desire
Lost, O, Pure of heart,
Love bound by pain,
to bleed for eternity
To decay in the endless sea
A guardian has been lost
To another quest
The journey remains
Incomplete
