For the Travelers

"a stroll through a camp at dusk
will tell you all you need to know,
from how travelers use their cloaks.

the warrior pitches a simple tent,
cramped so that he must sleep
curled as if in fear alone

companions construct a shelter faire
that each may respect the other
and still have room to spare

two lovers construct a pavilion
and huddle close in laughter
for there is space for three

yet know the one who slumbers best
is the one without a cloak
given gladly to a friend"


the Scrolls of Eskiyalı

Faucon this is a beautiful sentiment - indeed, wishing you all merry weaving and great comradeship. (Monika)

This is such a wonderful piece faucon. I think the travellers have opted for constructing a pavilion.
