The Lady and the Traveler

Unannounced and unexpected
He suddenly showed at her door;
The Lady – she was well respected
And was good-natured to the core.

She asked him of what help she may
Hence offer to the weary lad –  
There he should rest; perhaps should stay  
– She never knew he could be bad…

With gratitude he thanked her tending,
Then politely took her claim –
For his journey had no ending
All roads to him – were all the same.

He spoke to her of gloom and dread
Depression was his only state –
But the Lady she just smiled and said:
“Sunshine is my only Fate…”

The Lady and the Traveler
Together in the House of Life –
He and She – each storyteller
Of Life’s endless joy and strife.

His journey resumed on the morrow,
But now no more a lone affair –
Where he is – she soon will follow
– For she is Hope – and he Despair.
