A solitary torch, a solitary man
who led a solitary life,
wondered what the world held
that all the people moved about.
So he wandered
beneath the stars,
and found an alcove
arch of stone,
supported by a wall
with two entrances
on opposite sides.
Did they lead to different places, or meet again?
He stood there, now knowing which way to go, unable to choose.
He is there still, but the fire has gone out,
the stars no longer shine,
and within his never ending
quest of questions,
treasures of answers
remain gathering dust.
