124. The twilight of departure
The twilight of departure is a sad affair
since there is no return to what is fair.
You leave behind what you are unwilling to leave
and move to unknown destinations of incertitude,
perhaps of tribulation, certainly of trials
to never know what you one day will be returning to
after your trials after an infinity of changes
of the world and of your character,
because you'll never be the same again after a journey.
But this is the test of miracles.
There might be something left for you that hasn't changed,
and that stability is proof of continuity
that outlasts time and change and mundane troubles
and may prove that after all, in spite of all,
your love will never change.
