APRIL

Every traveler I meet is a story

of anguish and joy, rancor and grace,

as if each soul is a repertory

of heartbreak and redemption. On each face

I see imprinted the indelible design

of a life’s topography. Will that be true of mine

when I conclude what I’ve set out to do?

I think it must be so. For I’ve become a story too.

With each stony hill I climb, with every twist and bend

through sweeping unnamed forests, menacing and dense,

I leave behind my former self. My childish innocence

is fading, coming to its end.

Perhaps my brothers’ story is not so strange.

Of only one thing am I certain: Life is change.
