The Traveller

The Traveller
====================

Stars Beckon Him again,
The Wanderer of Ages,
Another Ship makes Sail,
Bearing Him and His pages,

He Faces The Silent Sky,
Her White Clouds, Comforting,
Even in Their Darkest Moments,
Their Tears Disguise His Weeping,

Home Lies Far Behind,
A Whisper of Memory,
Of a Hearth’s Dying Embers,
Fading in the Wake of his Journey,

He Carries His Secret With Him,
The Truth of Lost Sons,
That Home now an Alien Place,
Serenaded by Twenty One Guns,

The Miles Kept Him Young,
But Aged His World Unkindly,
Time's Gift to Wanderers,
Another Victim of Relativity,
