The next group
Like those before
Is again gathering
There are no
Long goodbyes

It’s been some time
In expectation—
And everyone here
Has since dispensed
With what they feel
They’ll never
Or no longer need

So for each there are
Very few souvenirs
A moment or two
As traveling light
Seems at last
To be the most
Appropriate guide

The sun descends
On a single
Cardinal’s wings

Slowly finally
Another autumn moon
Passes beyond the sea

an exceptional 'penning'!...

I am GRANDLY fond of:

"...for each there are
Very few souvenirs
A moment or two
As traveling light
Seems at last
To be the most
Appropriate guide

The sun descends
On a single
Cardinal’s wings

Slowly finally
Another autumn moon
Passes beyond the sea"

now THAT is fine writing!

v. serious and long-sustained applause!
