"The Wayfarer"

This is NOT my work. Yet it has inspired me. A friend of mine on another blog shed light on this man's words. I seek to become the wayfaring man.
The Wayfarer
The wayfarer,
Percieving the pathway to truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha," he said,
"I see that no one has passed here,
In a long time."
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
"Well," he mumbled at last,
"Doubtless there are other roads."
-Stephen Crane
