Sojourn

Cradle to casket, smiles, tears and patience
adrift on a river, in zigzagging expectations
adventures neon and chrome

A little candle snuffed, whirlwind uncertain  
familiar voice fading, behind a dark curtain
adieu night,  says moon in roam.

Death awakens...from a life of long dream
from fountain to ocean mingles a stream
sojourn ends, Welcome Home.
