the traveler = each one of us. the audunm sky = old age or aging. the bones = the reality of death. 

the tiger = the fear of death. the tree = the body. the vine = the grasping and clinging to the past present and future. the sea = endless rebirth. the dragons = greed hatred jealousy. the drops of honey = the five aggregates.
