A Pilgrim Stands At The Road To Nowhere

Rating: 5.0


Whenever he climbs up the singing mountain
As same as while his descending,
He hear some gentle foot steps behind him
And he looks around but sees nobody; This skinny wayfarer thinks
That the secret steps seems to be tired than him.

* The thorns that never harm the flower
But only the invaders,
Oh! What a wise combination is this?

Gentle irony pervades this pensive poem about those who strive for something beyond the ordinary and become lost in the process of their pilgrimage. I like the use of the word 'gentle' to describe the illusive footsteps of the pilgrim's unseen companion. Sandra's right. This one is definitely enigmatic. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Once again, very profound. And very sad. Shadow footsteps. At least the pilgrim has company. Enigmatic. Warm regards, Sandra
