Also, about this poem. The revered Basho, a Zen practioner, was deeply philosophical. Asked on his deathbed for a poem summarizing his philosophy he refused, but during the night he dreamed and when he woke he said that a poem had come to him It was this one. It's no wonder you liked it so much.
This haiku is Basho’s poem of farewell. He died, but his long journey isn’t end, his spirit still continues his journey in universe to continue his life and his destiny – a traveller.
