A monastic traveler speaks

I am not proud to be

not an easy person… true!

The dog, with a wound through which

a universe is dripping,

does not answer. The straight trees

shadow the path; shadows change

as per the cycle of sun.

A limping dog, a lean man.

Every bed of adventures

has numerous peas to lie.

Just trying to guess the route

to the island of lost mails.

Searching is the adventure.

I am not proud to be

an escapee from your mails.

The limping dog cannot chase

a whistling mailman away.

No excuse but the fact that

we are on the move always.

new icon midst an ole frame

A jovial icon. Youthful too.

Time’s smirk is reflected on the glass.

Frame of aged woods, relative truths,

I cross another day on light feet.

My, are you travelling in your poetry today. Your first poem harkens back to Diogenes. I hope I spelled that right. It also smacks, just a bit, of Dylan's "Mr. Bojangles."

In your second, I see a man looking in a mirror, with no time for "What might have been." He's happy with himself now, in the present, willing to accept himself for all he is, and was, with a smile. Life is still a journey to him.
