The Return
Inspired by an ancient poem IV
The journey back is far and vast
ominous with memories of old terrain.
Along the singing cattails I pass,
listening to their sad refrain.
The distant shore beckons
until the enticing land is clear.
But the sighting threatens.
Knowing he is no longer there,
my sorrows remain.
