The Traveler

My search begins...
When I walk in the path of your history
Your walls engulf me
Question me
Who is this stranger that walks among us?
But I say I am one of you
I long to see your secrets
I dive into your earth, a foreign thing
Never fully a part of the whole
A straggler
An outsider looking in
Searching
For herself
Will I find it in your soul?
I hide in the shadows waiting for my chance
Mesmerized by the mysterious trance you hold over me
And yet I am shaken awake
By cold showers of alienation
I am an intruder after all
Thieves are never welcome
I take a few treasures with me
Lest I forget
A piece of me remains
Affected by you
I am changed forever by our relations
Digging deep inside
I see myself through newborn
Eyes
Awake
Alive
I continue searching....
