THE PILGRIM 2

The Saturday before 28/11, I took a series of photograph of a friend and colleague of mine, "Rilwan". He is an artist with some mind-blowing art in his portfolio. I thought it cool to make photography art of of an artist. I titled the series "Pilgrim" because after sharing one of the shot, another friend of mine said he looked like pilgrim from a series "into the badland" and also as a symbol of him being a traveler who journeys through his thoughts, through prayers, enough talk, now the second set of shots. :)

Another friend of mine @osarueseosato felt the images were thought providing and he wrote a beautiful, see below.

The pilgrim..
The pilgrim stays and waits..
The pilgrim lays to pray..
In the dark quiet hollow recesses of his mind he cries aloud his thoughts and echos to the great unknown..
Here is truth, in Here is there is no lie..
Here he speaks to the peak..
Here he calls to the deep..

Here his senses are numb..
Here his conviction is strong..
In the thick of it all
In his quietness in the storm
He lays..
Lays to pray..
He lays to wait..
Seconds turn into minutes..
Minutes into hours..
Hours to days..

Days to months..
And it goes on and on endlessly..
Till the end of days..
Waiting..
Watching..
Listening..
Searching..
For a light..
For hope..
For a sign..
On his scope..

In the dark hollow recesses of the pilgrims mind..
His soul calls out and a voice responds in the echo..
To the pilgrim
This is truth..
Truth devoid of the sense..
Truth from the ethereal..
Truth that is light...
