Poetry - This is the end my Friend

This is the end my friend

This is as far as I can go

I have walked arm in arm

Down this lonely road

Now I must go back

Before the light fades

I need to find

My own way home

It’s been fun my friend

Our humour is the same

Wit for wit we match

Weariness makes me turn back

You helped me, yes

In turn I helped you

The scales have tipped

Leaving level them again

Walk ahead of me my friend

You will feel me travel behind you

And motion without me

Further, please, further ahead

You can’t see me now

But I am turning back

If you look back

You will become a pillar of salt

I take my leave

It has been a good journey

Half way – not bad

When I turn the sun will be at my back
