("A Migration of Ghosts", 2023, original encaustic)

A Journey of Souls

Collectively and alone
We struggle and slog
Each in our own world
A particle on the wave.

There is nothing more to tell
We all know how it’ll end 
In waves crashing down
And us still just riding on.

In joy and sorrow 
We only take what we make
For as long as we can endure
To grow in pain. 

Circling over the same old ground
Cycling in the same old groove 
Till we too are worn away
And then, we journey on, anew.

Well, definitely not the most bright and cheery. I tend to get like this when the leaves fall and days get short, preparing for winter...
