Inevitable Journey

Inevitable Journey.

Every hour is a moment.
A piece of history
Your history, your story
Nobody wants to take your place.
Be in your shoes.
As the sun rises and disappears
Like an egg timer
The sand trickles through
Ebbs away, the seconds
Until the bottom is full
The end arrives. Inevitable journey.
Like birth, no one can resist.
Or fight, refuse, not go
Inevitable conclusion
From the day we arrive
Goodbye old friend.
Nothing to forgive or forget
Never a cross word
No adjectives or condolence works.
I hope there’s a light.
Somewhere better than this
Take care my friend.
The pleasure was all mine.
Bon voyage!
