The lone traveler

A man walks a dry and horrid desert, in search of something once glorious and humble but now gone. The journey has been long taking it's tole on the man, he's been gone from his home so long his people have forgotten his name, and there is little evidence that he ever existed. He has climbed mountains and swam the deepest seas...looking, He runs in to an old man tending his goats on top of a sandy hill...and tells him "sir, I have walked through valleys of remorse and swam through rivers of loneliness, I have non to call companion, only one thing is all I've ever owned..but it's been lost to time, May I ask for your help? "The old man looks at him and after a moment says "I know of what you are looking for and your Journey is soon to be over, that witch you have spent time looking and have crossed many lands to find is that which can not be tainted, altered or changed..it stands tall higher than the sky and built of things stronger than stone, it can not be bought for it's worth is more than any wealth, and what you have failed to see is what you've been looking for has also climbed mountains and swam seas for what you have lost but now have found is you."
