Journeys

One journey ends
as she drifts to her destination--
quietly, peacefully--
as she had been called.
The fight was over
after years of onslaught.
It was time to rest.
One journey ends
as another one begins.

Unchartered waters call to her
as she steps into the unknown.
She wills her eyes to open
knowing only too well
they already are. Will
her path be similar to the one
her adversary followed
when he invaded her body?
The battles are about to start,
where will the journey end?

One a first read, allow me to say that I rather enjoyed the ingredient of intrigue, the mysterious element.

Now to attempt understanding....

I'm so spontaneous that I must speak before it dissipates (sp?).

I'll help you along. The journeys are cancer. The first part is about a woman who died last Monday after a recurrence of breast cancer. The second part is a friend of mine who just started chemo after having a hysterectomy. She's only a little older than I.

Happy Valentines Day!
