"In the end, we'll all become stories." - Margaret Atwood


A boat made of ruby

Floating atop silver streams

Above fish of pearled topaz

With trees of fluorescent crystal


The journey begins

As the willowed entrance

Begins its dance of closure

Severing itself from curiosity


A light no longer seen

The sun remains home

Bed-bound to familiar lands

An adventure with no guide


A waterfall forever falling

Frail droplets of opal

Crash like breaking waves

Rest assured in a garden of cherry blossoms


The spirit of the stream dims

As it nears a pool of fog

Perhaps the afterlife spilling over

But we’ve yet to go too far
