Journey’s End

Using words and a picture to tell a story.

Journey’s End

It's journey’s end

a deserted terminus

so dark despite

dim lights on high

that accentuate

the clammy swirling fog

enshrouding him at ground level,

and progressively dissolving

all discernible shapes;

clutching his destiny

to a heaving chest

he listens to the stillness

all around him,

somehow unsure if the trip

is really over

or if there is, maybe,

an onward connection here;

he rests still,

alone and anonymous,

for a micro second

reflecting instinctively

on the journey past,

worried whether

he has left anything

worthwhile behind;

he shivers suddenly

feels the chill night atmosphere

totally envelop him

now knows his next

and final journey

has begun.
