Bill said...: The assigned kigo/keyword was "shadow," which may clear up some of the mystery. The literal notion is that a night journey, or a journey that has extended into the night, has come to an end. At night, the shadow disappears – as it may seem, into the darkness. Now, at journey's end, I leave my shadow in the darkness.

Beyond that, I intend a metaphorical range as broad and deep as your imagination can manage. And I know you guys have imaginations that are broad and deep.

Thanks for the comments, Frank, Juliet, and Gillena.; 6:40 PM

Bill said...: Thanks for the comment, Daniele. "journey's end" is not "la fin de la journee."; 8:06 AM
Danaelle said...: Thanks, Bill. Of course ! I fell into the trap.; 11:50 AM
Bill said...: Glad you came by, Lolly. Thank you.; 12:58 PM
