The Ending

Seed: they must be traveled alone.


He told me I must travel alone
but I did not believe him
until the day his wild spirit
fled as the swallows rode
wide circling into the distant sky
and I lay quiet
alone in the wide bed
listening for the voice
no longer near
to learn his truth

This speaks of that ultimate loneliness that comes to all of us sooner or later. So beautifully done, Fran.
