Voyage

The last voyage, we take alone.

Last moments, final sums, totals, nothing carries over or subtracts. Others behind us now, all others. Must be alone for this stretch of the course, there's a reason for this. We did the best we could for others. It's the final good deed we're able to impart here, our own exit unburdened. With little understanding, we'll nonetheless trust the venerable sun consumes at dusk's horizon, charted from the very start, number of days finite, all spent with gratitude, next destination a mystery. 

The last voyage, we take alone.
