I had known this man– a wayfarer.

He goes beyond
    the border of limits and expectations
and in return.
      gains all the awards
        and retribution of life.

He is a wayfarer that never take
     the shortcuts and instead
        take the long run.
and in return
      gains all the fortunate and
        unfortunate experiences
           that makes him the man today
               and tomorrow.

He is a wayfarer not afraid to take
    the Stygian path towards the unknown
       or pellucid path towards certainty.
and in return
     gains all the understanding of the world.

He is a wayfarer not afraid to stare at strangers
          despite their pulchritude
               or grotesque appearance
          receiving their lenience
               or perfidious character.
and in return
     gains his own fudis Achates and brother Set.

I want to be that wayfarer–
       unafraid of anything but the fall
            of his love ones.

I want to be that wayfarer–
       brave, and unafraid of brume or clarity.

A wayfarer that will be engraved in their minds,
         and will be sempiternal in their hearts.
                I want to be that wayfarer...
