Journey

wrapped in white linen-
a flight of doves foreshadow
this final journey
–
evening shadows-
the winding road
into darkness

exploring the world
starting with the common ground
found beneath my feet
–
fading sunlight-
stone steps
along my path

traveling down this
river of asphalt toward
the vanishing point
–
maple leaves
swirling eddies in
a mountain steam
