Inspired by VJ’s Weekly Challenge – Roads & Sadje’s What do you see #80
while looking off into the distance
many roads lead to me
the curious may travel to catch a glimpse
and revel in my history
they’ll never quite understand what i’ve seen

Lovely post, especially the last line as it shows that life is all relative

Is that the Sphinx? If so, I never knew he had a ‘splitting headache.’

I believe it is. Only because of the erosion over the years. ;)

Nice twist on “all roads lead to…”. True that no one will ever know what any of us has seen.

I love that’s what you took away from it, VJ. The visual lines up but the emotional punch is what I was going for. ;)

Great poem. It’s fascinating to read (elsewhere) that when Napoleon and his troops saw it in the early 19th century, it still had remnants of where it had been painted.
