 Exile
My long journey is done,

    and now I seek only rest

        for my weary soul--

    no more shall I quest,

        seeking that which is not

            my destiny...

I have defied fate on all my

    twisting paths,

        be they by the sea,

    or under shimmering stars

        in chilling desert winds...

I have defied destiny,

    hurling my challenge

        against the eternal night,

    fighting, trying, refusing to accept

        the fate of being alone,

    without a wife, children;

        without a home...

But, each time it seemed I would succeed,

    I would but fail,

        thwarted by merciless fate;

and now, weary in mind

    and soul,

        I resign myself to

            exile from love

                    and

            solitude from life...
