HIS JOURNEY ENDS
(CLEAVE POEM CHALLENGE)
Life's enigma / has tragically SURCEASED
when death drew near / for a dear brother in bed
whom we keep / in our daily ORISON
though we're aware / of his final destiny
We held our hopes high / chanting his prosaic AUBADE
Stirring memories / in despair with COMPATHY
But all's in vain / when he could no longer hang on
He's free from pain / now that his journey ends.
