walking the same path
each at a different pace
all arriving home

walking the same path
each at a different pace
all arriving home
eight full weeks after
nightmare odyssey began
we’re finally home

fog on day fifty
trees had leaves when we began
yet we’re still not home

leaves are mostly gone
so much transpired this month
so much yet not walked

full moon pale at dusk
remaining light goes quickly
last mile in moonlight
