YOU AND I

O fellow traveler, you do not have to make your
journey on my path, nor need I follow yours. It
doesn’t matter much today... just now, here in the
gentle sun there is no rush; I’ve no one I must
hurry to, and so I’ll stay with you awhile and walk
a mile or so if you will talk to me, for I would
know what takes you this way and not that, or yet
another.

Be at peace; I mean no harm and would not
condescend to judge your preference, however
we may disagree, nor would I summon all
my armies, had I generals, lieutenants, or a single
PFC to show me deference.

I’m practically alone, in fact; my family is

near, a few dear friends as well, and if I ring this

little bell they’ll come to me, but everyone has

separate hills and valleys to explore.

I rattle on, I fear, and I am curious to hear your

story. Where, you ask me, am I bound. The

world is round, my friend, and when we meet

again perhaps I shall be sure where all roads

lead, but it occurs to me to say, before you go

with your companion, who I see is standing near

the wayside, that at journey’s end, we’ll know

each other, I am certain, you and I.
