When Journey's Done

Let’s step into the sun,
Stride slow an empty land
And walk the daylight down.
Perhaps the hills are blue,
Out there. No sound, no will
But wind is in that stillness,
That immensity, that distant sky.
We’ll walk and never stop to wonder why.

Let’s be alone now, done
With all we took in hand,
The journey ended, bound
No more. Just I, and you,
My senseless joy, will walk
As one. We will not talk,
Not now, not out beneath a pale blue sky.
We’ll walk and never stop to wonder why.
