Journey's End

Life expectancy
but a breath of existence
from eternity.
           ***

Life expectancy
but a thousand mile journey
to eternity.
             ***

Note:
   A 'li' is known as a Chinese mile and is approximately one third of an English mile or 500 kilometers. A thousand li, metaphorically, refers to a long journey.

Hello Dennis, I really like the turn in these two complimentary Senryus. Your link of life to eternity is thought provoking. Our lives are indeed long journeys to and from an eternal source. Fine work. Be well. Brian
