This morning
A faceless traveler came to me.
Speaking of,
Time and space and eternal sleep.
But, I
Being wise, and most quick-witted
Asked them
Whether they have rested at all?
They paused.
Deep in thought, unsure in mind.
Maw reopening,
They spoke and said to me,
"Not anymore,
Not anymore but once I was.
Forever I
Will search around for more.
For more
Who are weary and in need."
I thought.
I searched for reason to say.
But then--
I decided that was life's burden:
Worthy responses,
Restless searching, always weary, but then-
Happy resolution.
