MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER


She blooms with the stars
The mysterious traveler
Seeking in places unknown
Everywhere is new to her

Sometimes the pain is overwhelming
She keeps walking from body to body
Each time the experience changes her
Bringing out a different element of her soul

When another comes to her path
She asks questions of relevance
With nuances of life and being
Existence in the present without absolutes

What has brought her to this point
Is mute in the scheme of the universe
She tells her stories to those who listen
They learn from emotion rather than words

To persist in the pursuit of everything
The unending quest of love and knowledge
The mysterious traveler
She blooms with the stars
