The Journey

No journey is complete without return.
All trips are round-trips:
we always come back
to where we started.
Though it may be true
that you can never go home again
because every adventure
changes you, changes home,
nonetheless, we come from dust
we return to dust;
we rise from ashes
and fall to ashes again.
Like a phoenix, every birth is death
and every death is birth.
