On His Final Journey

On His Final Journey



                                Drifting ruminations freely wander
                                amid vanishing rays of Sun Ra
                                Thrusted beyond constraining clouds
                                probing the enigmatic moon
                                Hoping like incessantly undulating liquid
                                from a surging waterfall
                                Inner eye unveils the essence of a man
                                who for eons remained silent


                                Resembling his distinct familiar face
                                from a distance stood her true love
                                Parting muted lips a smile illuminates
                                the darkest stars in heaven
                                Arms outstretched as his tears well
                                eager to amend a fractured heart
                                Conceding defeat to forsaken wishes
                                he ascended beyond a cloud


                                A woman impassioned craves
                                the homecoming of this precious entity
                                She must repudiate wretched emotions
                                he has embarked on his Final Journey
                                Heralded by a harbinger of doom 
                                destiny upholds this disheartening truth
                                Expectation conjures delusion
                                deceiving her vision invoking salvation
