Excellent Poet's conversation with the Self. Random Reflections. : The Pilgrim Soul. by Niyuta

"Alone you arrived in this world; alone you shall leave," My Subconscious reminded me. "What is a point then, my hanging onto those memories? Each one built with care, journeying since the birth to golden years. Am I, wandering aimlessly, like an Albatross*, in the memory lanes? Some are dear to my heart; the others- best forgotten. "Is there a purpose in this coming and going then? I must have an answer; if you know, I asked my Self." "Isn't this one of many passings of the pilgrim soul?" The Self answered with a rhetorical question instead. Author Notes It's a random reflection on why and what we hold onto from our past-A search for the truth in things, episodes and people we hold onto. Simile* :Wandering Albatross, or Goonie bird, is a large snowy seabird that travels between the two poles.
