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.
