Prayer at Journey’s End
A fork in the path
I smile at the road you’ll take
I envy your route
It leads you where I know not
I pray for your safe journey
Nothing ever lasts
Majestic mountains erode
I will miss your shade
A cool relief from harsh light
Your kindness hugging the winds
Faith rarely leads me
And yet I pray for your fate
On roads, still unknown
May your smile inspire smiles
And your kindness, met in kind
Wielding gentleness
Against the tide of cruelty
Your morning respite
Filling my cup with promise
Restoring my karmic faith
All endings are thus
Our Eras intersecting
Peace where our lines meet
Your smile, gifted upon mine
Engraved upon flesh and stone
I’m not known to pray
But I’ll stomp and shout for you
Evil spirits leave!
Do not darken my friend’s fate!
Leave her spirit light as air!
Temporal waves crest
Energy fuels momentum
We tumble forward
Unsure of destination
Yet better after meeting
A fork in the road
Your fate awaits your footfalls
As mine veers away
May your journey bring you joy
Your good fortune, unending.
