Arrival

Greetings noble wanderer

I know your journey has been long

the road has led you far from home

and now it has

carried you to my door.

 

Friend, what do you seek?

 

Enlightenment?

Sadly, I've none to offer.

 

Wisdom?

Again no, but do not abandon your search.

 

Answers?

Young soul, I too find only questions.

 

Meaning or purpose?

I've found none, and fear your quest because

may have thus far been in vain.

 

I can offer you nothing but the understanding

of one who too has endlessly trudged

this lonely solitary path.

 

If it's rest and the comfort of a kindred heart,

then, please, come in my dear young friend.

 

By all means,

do come in.
